20 Agenda Overview of Step-Up Step-Up Participants & Their Needs Positive Youth Development Model Recommendations for Providers
21 What is Step-Up? Positive youth development program Addresses social emotional development Promotes academic achievement High school graduation Positive transition to adulthood
22 Program Goals Provide psycho-social support & mentorship Increase school engagement Improve academic performance Support on time high school graduation Program Components Life-Skills Youth Groups One-on-One Mentor Teacher/School Staff Engagement Academic Incentives Events, Trips, & Community Projects Development of post graduation plan Enhance social relationships Build positive identity Enhance strengths and protective factors
23 Who are Step-Up Participants? Nominated student with identified potential With one or more of the following: 75 GPA or lower 1 academic year behind Insufficient credits Decreased attendance and academic performance Difficulties forming/ maintaining positive relationships with teachers & peers Family /home circumstances impacting academic achievement
24 Positive Youth Development (PYD) A framework used to design and guide programs and services for children and youth. PYD emphasizes the relationship between young people s strengths and resources and their capacity to live healthy and productive lives. (Baber, 2011)
25 PYD Perspective: Focus on strengths in the community, school, & family These strengths are developmental assets used to promote positive youth development These assets promote positive, healthy development (Benson, 2007)
26 PYD Perspective Emphasizes: Positive relationships between youth and adults Activities that build important life skills Opportunities for youth to use these life skills as participants and as leaders Positive vision and vocabulary for discussing youth
27 Psycho-social measures for PYD: School engagement Practical support behavior from friends Emotional self-regulation Behavioral self-regulation Life skill knowledge in social relationships Life skill knowledge in self-care
28 Applying PYD to Step-Up Adolescents are motivated to make their lives work well and so we work to support their capabilities Focus on protective factors instead of risk factors Allow adolescents to be producers of their own development and life course Need the opportunity for trial and error to learn Provide a validating environment
29 Step-Up Data Years of Operation: 7 Number of students served: 470 in 8 schools Male/ female ration: 45% male, 55% female Free Lunch eligible: 90% Completion of Step Up: 84% Graduation Rate: 84% (graduated or on track for high school graduation) Race breakdown: 56 % Latino, 37% African American
30 Findings on Academic Outcomes Participants who completed Step-Up were more likely to improve their academic performance after one year, earn more credits than students not engaged in Step-Up, and have higher odds of graduating from high school Significant correlation between group attendance and academic improvement.
31 Recommendations for Providers Encourage, support and empower adolescents to use their capabilities to better their lives Focus on protective factors instead of risk factors Allow adolescents to be producers of their own development and life course Allow opportunities for trial and error in order to learn Provide a validating environment

43 YIP Website
44 Challenges for Youth Transitioning from Foster Care Each year approximately 20,000 youth are living in the foster care system in New York State, and about 4000 are between the ages of 18 and % leave care with a high school diploma or GED At age 24, only half of these youth will be employed A quarter of foster youth will experience homelessness within the first four years of aging out of the system One in four will be entangled in the justice system within two years of exiting foster care 2.5% will complete a four year degree as compared to 23.5% of the general public
45 Future Recommendations Adequate educational support for youth in foster care Career development and employment opportunities for youth ages 14 and older Funding for kinships programs so that youth can continue to remain with relative foster families and receive financial assistance for living expenses Full tuition aid to SUNY/CUNY for youth in foster care and those who age out Create additional supportive housing options with on-site clinical and transitional support services
