The major goal of the Safe Passage program is to
strengthen protective factors for keeping children
healthy and well by working with youth, parents, and
families. More specifically, CEA's Safe Passage
program provides: (a) a safe, educational, and
culturally appropriate program for children and youth;
(b) therapeutic support, and life skills training to
help children cope with complex issues, define values,
and develop strong self-esteem; and (c) community
enhancement services to alleviating environmental
factors that can effect social, cognitive, and emotional
behaviors of our school age participants. Within
this environment, multiple objectives are met:
- Students learn skills to improve academic
success;
- Students learn to avoid negative peer influences
and situations;
- Students develop positive self-esteem and group
identity: and
- Students learn to stay in school through
positive role modeling.
SAFE PASSAGE Program
Facts/Statistics for 2008
During the year 2008:
 |
Safe Passage
program provided its services to 68 young
participants -- 47.1% Female and 52.9% Male from
6 to 18 years -- representing 27 schools in 14
neighborhoods. |
|
|
Based on outcome,
youth participants became successful and
improved academic performance. |
By the 3rd report period, the impact of the Safe
Passage program was well demonstrated by the vast
improvements in youth performance.
|
|
The number of A's,
B's, and C's were at its highest point, totaling
188 (87%). |
|
|
The number of D's,
and E's were at its lowest pint with a total of
28 (13%). |
The data demonstrates that the services provided by
the Safe Passage program were successful in their
ability to intervene and change negative behavior.
The academic strides made by the youth during the
current academic year give the youth an advantage toward
academic success in the next school year, and school
years to come, safely passing the youth from one grade
level to the next.
