The Boys and Girls Club site remains active, while the school site was eliminated this year due to a decrease in funding. Very few funding resources exist in this community, and the schools could no longer afford to maintain the site on their own although they continue to provide space for some activities. The project's advisory board is also currently inactive thereby eliminating one of the project's original goals to involve local advisory board members in leadership experiences to generate capabilities to maintain a community based model for continued youth programs. To offer a community based after school program for Native American kids in an isolated, rural community in Northeast Oklahoma To involve parents in activities with their children and in educational programs that build parenting skills To reduce school drop-outs, early sexual activity, and substance abuse by building pride in the Native American culture. Boys and Girls Club maintains the active site.
Schools provide space for some activities.
Boys and Girls Club maintains one site. No evaluation efforts are currently in place. Community receptivity is very positive. Because of limited resources in the community, this is the only After School care option for most families. The school built a larger building this year providing more space and nicer facilities for activities.
