Development Community Block Grant Act of 1995''.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 2. FINDINGS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    Congress finds the following:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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, creating the need for 
        programs to strengthen families and help parents meet the 
        social, moral, emotional, physical, and cognitive needs of 
        their children.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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 (5) in addition to 
        accomplishing their basic educational mission. Only a strong 
        partnership among families, schools, local government, 
        religious organizations, community-based youth-serving 
        organizations, law enforcement, community-based family-serving 
        organizations, small businesses (including businesses that 
        produce or sell products that may be abused), large industries, 
        and labor can create a community environment that truly 
        supports the youth of the Nation in reaching their highest 
        potential.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) Youth development programs, including youth 
        clubs, sports and recreation programs, mentoring programs, and 
        leadership development 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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (9) Community-based youth-serving organizations 
        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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 3. PURPOSES.</DELETED>

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

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.
