SOUTHERN REGION YOUTH PAC (PEOPLE AGAINST CRIME) PROGRAM, INC.

MISSION STATEMENT

To be a multipurpose provider focused on developing and implementing a comprehensive approach of effective prevention/intervention technologies that influence the behavior of youth. Our strategy is to identify and ameliorate the areas that carry potential high risk factors by offering resources to meet the economic, academic, health and social needs of the youth in our community. Our challenge is to cultivate a healthy environment that molds youth to be leaders of tomorrow. Crime and poverty is plaguing many areas in Miami-Dade County, so it is our ultimate goal to assist in the elimination of poverty, reduction of crime, and overall uplifting of the community residents through our current projects and future endeavors current being considered. We believe that TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

History

Mr. Frank Ruiz and Mr. Harry Rosenstein founded the Nisei Goju Ryu Karate (second generation hard and soft) System in July of 1969. Mr. Herbie Thompson was appointed head of Nisei Goju Ryu Southern Region in 1978. Mr. Thompson has taken the Nisei Goju Ryu System and combined a youth program, thereby, forming the Nisei Youth PAC (People Against Crime) Program, a 501c3 non profit dedicated to saving children.

Nisei Youth P.A.C. Program

The Nisei Youth P.A.C. (People Against Crime) Program established in 1969 has evolved from a single purpose organization to a multi-purpose provider. This organization’s is to develop a comprehensive approach of effective prevention and intervention technologies for at-risk children (ages 3 to 18) and their families and to offer alternative service resources to youth involved in the juvenile justice system.

Goals

To have our own self-sufficient facility that is educational as well as recreational (with a computer room, game room, library/study room, and a room for art and sewing).

To have our own Mini Bus to pick kids up for our After School Program and for Field Trips.

This will effectively help us to assist our youth in:

· Increasing grade point averages
· Increasing school attendance
· Reducing school suspensions
· Providing effective prevention programming to reduce delinquency recidivism rates
