Background and Discussion:

Youth programs offered by Harris County Precinct 1 currently focus on children ages six through thirteen, creating an opportunity to enhance programming for teenagers and other young people. The Center for Urban Transformation (“CUT”) is a community organization dedicated to creating “opportunities for Fifth Ward families” whose programs primarily serve young people over the age of twelve and focus on civic engagement, arts, social-emotional skill development, academic success, basic needs service navigation, and resiliency-building.  CUT has seen promising results across their past programs in reducing in-school and out-of-school suspensions and increasing pro-social cognition and attendance. As such, Precinct 1 and CUT hope to further their shared goals by hosting at the Finnigan Park Community Center: (1) an after-school program for young people during the academic year (“CUT Club”), (2) supplemental programming for young people during the summer months (“CUT Camp”), and (3) monthly community meetings (“CUT Meetings”).
