The Power of Youth on Course
The California Correctional Peace Offi cers Association believes in the power and impact Youth on Course has on the community. CCPOA has donated more than $50,000 over the past several years, and views the partnership as an investment in the future. “We support Youth on Course because it is trying to
make sure kids become productive members of society, and that directly impacts our constituencies at prisons all over Northern California,” says JeVaughn Baker, Director of Communications for CCPOA. “We’re into prevention, and the best way to prevent troubled kids from ending up in prison is to give them opportunities to earn the internships and scholarships that Youth on Course can provide.” More than 225,000 California youth are arrested
every year, contributing to prison overcrowding, high costs and other issues that trickle down throughout the state economy. Youth on Course provides obtainable goals, job training and education for today’s youth by offering 34 college scholarships, 12 internships and caddie training at its new academy in San Jose. “I don’t know where I would be without Youth on Course. The program has changed my life forever,” said one Youth on Course participant at a recent event. With the help of NCGA members, foundations,
clubs and corporations, thousands of kids are earning the opportunity to change the course of their lives.
Youth on Course will subsidize more than 60,000
rounds of golf this year, keeping more than 8,000 kids active and out of trouble. Northern California’s youth have a healthy alternative to getting in trouble, joining gangs or skipping school through scholarship incentives, internship opportunities and the ability to earn paychecks and tips. It’s partners like CCPOA who are providing Youth on Course with the resources it needs to further impact at-risk youth, and show kids that the path of life can be fi lled with tremendous opportunity.
