0 <br />E. <br />9. Corresponds with known gang members or writes and/or <br />receives correspondence about gang activities. <br />10. Writes about gangs (graffiti) on walls, books, paper, etc. <br />FUNDING CYCLE AND DURATION: <br />OCJP has approximately $800,000 for this RFP, on a statewide basis, for <br />implementation or enhancement of MPs for youth who are involved or <br />at -risk of being involved in a gang. Acknowledging the findings of the <br />Central Valley Task Force, OCJP recognizes a special need for mentoring in <br />rural areas. <br />.These areas require support in providing assistance to meet the challenges <br />associated with the increased population growth. It is OCJP's intent that <br />approximately $200,000 will be allocated for MPs in regions identified as <br />central valley by the Task Force. Maps of the central valley are included in <br />the Programmatic section of the RFP. <br />Funding is contingent upon appropriation of funds and approval of an IA <br />between OCJP and ADP. Continuation of funding in year two is contingent <br />on the continued appropriations of funds by the State of California, and <br />federal funds through the SDFSC Act. <br />Applicants responding to this RFP must budget funds for 12 months. The <br />maximum amount available to each applicant is $50,000. It is anticipated <br />that this amount will be available to projects each year, for a two year <br />funding cycle provided satisfactory program performance is maintained. <br />There is no match requirement. <br />It is the intent of OCJP and ADP that funded projects continue the project <br />beyond the grant funding period. Therefore, MP projects must demonstrate <br />in their proposal, a plan for the assumption of costs for continued <br />implementation at the end of the grant cycle. <br />PROGRAM INFORMATION; <br />�i <br />1. History and Backeround <br />In 1996, Governor Pete Wilson created the California Mentoring <br />Initiative (CMI) to address the devastating effects of alcohol and drug <br />use, teen pregnancy, educational issues, and violence on youth in <br />California. The goal of the CMI is to reduce these major problem <br />areas by recruiting and training 250,000 mentors to reach one million <br />at -risk young people by the year 2000. The proposed outcome of the <br />CMI is to achieve joint efforts of public organizations and private <br />industry networking and providing support to local mentor efforts. <br />3 <br />
