SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In an increasingly complex and competitive world 
        economy, the human capital of the United States is its most 
        important resource. Too many young people in the United States 
        are reaching adulthood unprepared to be productive workers, 
        effective parents, or responsible citizens.
            (2) Over the past decade, public concern related to young 
        people has focused primarily on improving academic performance 
        and combating youth problems such as substance abuse and 
        juvenile delinquency.
            (3) Young people who lack self-confidence, self-discipline, 
        respect for others, and a sense of connection to their families 
        and communities, are unlikely to be successful in school, and 
        far more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors.
            (4) Parents have primary responsibility for the social, 
        moral, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of their 
        children. However, tremendous social and demographic changes 
        during the last 30 years have had a significant effect on 
        family life and youth development, increasing the need for 
        programs to strengthen families and help parents meet the 
        social, moral, emotional, physical, and cognitive needs of 
        their children.
            (5) The lack of supervision of youth by parents and the 
        lack of meaningful activity after school for youth contributes 
        to the spread of violent juvenile delinquency in the form of 
        youth and gang violence, drug trafficking, dangerous and self-
        destructive behavior, and lack of hope among youth in our 
        Nation.
            (6) The United States expects too much of its schools if 
        the Nation asks the schools to meet single-handedly the needs 
        described in paragraph (4) in addition to accomplishing their 
        basic educational mission. Only a strong partnership among 
        community-based youth development organizations, community-
        based youth-serving organizations, community-based family-
        serving organizations, local government, law enforcement, 
        juvenile and family courts, local schools and local educational 
        agencies, local businesses (including small businesses, 
        businesses that produce or sell products that may be abused, 
        and large industries), philanthropic organizations, the 
        religious community, and families can create a community 
        environment that truly supports the youth of the Nation in 
        reaching their highest potential.
            (7) Youth development programs, including youth clubs, 
        sports and recreation programs, mentoring programs, leadership 
        development activities, and community service programs, make a 
        major contribution to helping youth develop the life skills and 
        values that will prepare the youth for the challenges of 
        adolescence and the independence and responsibilities of 
        adulthood.
            (8) Participation in positive youth development programs 
        can lead to a reduction in high-risk behaviors, including 
        school failure, teenage pregnancy, use of alcohol and drugs, 
        and juvenile delinquency. Many youth who would greatly benefit 
        from such programs do not have access due to factors that 
        include lack of coordination among the programs and inequitable 
        distribution of existing resources.
            (9) Community-based youth-serving organizations, private 
        and public, are an effective resource in developing and 
        implementing community youth development plans, both because of 
        the responsiveness of the organizations to local community 
        values and concerns, and the ability of the organizations to 
        mobilize community resources.
            (10) Notwithstanding the efforts of community-based youth-
        serving organizations, in most local communities youth 
        development efforts are so fragmented that millions of youth 
        nationwide go unserved, and no process exists through which key 
        groups regularly come together to develop a comprehensive 
        approach to youth development. Without a mechanism for 
        coordination, narrowly focused Federal programs are unable to 
        meet the comprehensive needs of the youth of the Nation.
            (11) Narrowly targeted categorical programs have created a 
        multitude of Federal funding streams which have become a 
        barrier to effective program coordination and the provision of 
        comprehensive services for children and youth.
            (12) It is critical that the Federal Government adopt a 
        comprehensive strategy in promoting the positive development of 
        youth, and encourage and empower communities to develop and 
        implement comprehensive youth development plans.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

    It is the purpose of this Act to create a single, comprehensive 
Federal strategy for community-based youth development programs, and to 
support communities in designing community strategic plans for youth 
development that--
            (1) support the primary role of the family in positive 
        youth development;
            (2) give priority to prevention of youth problems and crime 
        through youth development;
            (3) promote increased community coordination and 
        collaboration in meeting the developmental needs of youth;
            (4) support the development and expansion of community-
        based youth development programs to respond to local needs; and
            (5) promote community partnerships that link youth 
        development programs with services provided by community-based 
        youth development organizations, community-based youth-serving 
        organizations, community-based family-serving organizations, 
        local government (including parks and recreation agencies), law 
        enforcement, juvenile and family courts, and local schools and 
        local educational agencies, and other segments of the 
        community.

        years for which appropriations are $500,000,000 or more.--
                    (A) In general.--Except as described in paragraph 
                (3), for each fiscal year for which a State receives a 
                State allotment, the State shall, after making any 
                reservation under paragraph (1), allocate and 
                distribute to each Community Board in the State an 
                amount (referred to in this section as the ``local 
                allocation'') representing an equitable allocation of 
                the remainder of the State allotment.
                    (B) Calculation.--The local allocations shall be 
                distributed among Community Boards representing 
                counties within the State utilizing the Federal 
                allotment formula specified in section 6(b), except 
                that for purposes of the application of the formula--
                            (i) each reference to the total 
                        distribution amount shall be deemed to be a 
                        reference to the remainder of the State 
                        allotment;
                            (ii) each reference to a State shall be 
                        deemed to be a reference to a county; and
                            (iii) the reference to all States shall be 
                        deemed to be a reference to all counties in the 
                        State.
            (3) Allocation of funds to community boards for fiscal 
        years for which appropriations are less than $500,000,000.--
                    (A) Grants.--For each fiscal year for which the 
                total sums appropriated under section 5(a) are less 
                than $500,000,000, and for which a State receives a 
                State allotment, the State shall, after making any 
                reservation under paragraph (1)(A), make grants from 
                the remainder of the State allotment to eligible 
                Community Boards to carry out the activities described 
                in subsection (b)(2)(A) and section 9(a).
                    (B) Considerations.--In making such grants, the 
                State shall consider the criteria described in the 
                formula specified in section 6(b), applied as described 
                in paragraph (2)(B). The State shall ensure an 
                equitable geographic distribution of such grants 
                (including distribution to rural, urban, and suburban 
                areas within the State), and shall ensure that a 
                variety of program models and activities receive 
                funding under this paragraph.
                    (C) Treatment of grants.--For purposes of this Act, 
                a grant awarded to a Community Board under this 
                paragraph shall be considered to be a local allocation.

        eligible Community Board in the State, 5 percent of the local

        initial planning phase. To be eligible to receive such amount,

        intent shall include a list of the members of the Community

                allocation of such Board for the purpose of conducting
