These programs can\u00a0support to initiatives focused on athletics, the arts and other educational projects.<\/p>\n<p>The Cleveland Peacemakers Alliance will use a portion of its grant money to fund\u00a0 Pathway to Resilience , a career-training program that combines instruction with extracurricular activities, such as athletics and music. Pathway to Resilience, launched last year, is a partnership between the Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Cleveland and Resilience Capital Partners.<\/p>\n<p>Research has shown that after-school programs can help lower school drop-out rates and reduce youth crime.\u00a0Toward this end, Grantwatch.com lists RFPs for nonprofits that can develop programs to encourage at-risk youth to participate in sports,\u00a0high-quality after-school programs and in-school academic activities. Funds can be used for community events, academic tutoring, sports camps, school and youth-group athletic programs and coaching leadership and development.<\/p>\n<p>Some grants listed that are region specific are:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/182967\/grants-to-tennessee-agencies-to-reduce-delinquency-among-at-risk-youth.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grants to Tennessee Agencies to Reduce\u00a0Delinquency Among At-Risk Youth<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/145811\/grants-to-oklahoma-city-oklahoma-nonprofits-and-schools-for-sports-programs-for-at-risk-youth.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grants to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Nonprofits\u00a0and Schools for Sports Programs for At-Risk Youth<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/179722\/grants-to-maryland-virginia-and-washington-dc-nonprofits-for-education-at-risk-youth-and-social-welfare-programs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grants to Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC Nonprofits\u00a0for Education, At-Risk Youth, and Social Welfare Programs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to the Rose Institute at Claremont McKenna College, taxpayers save roughly $3 for every dollar spent on high-quality after-school programs. If benefits from crime reduction are factored in, each dollar invested in an at-risk child saves $8-$12.<\/p>\n<p>Child advocates also say adult role models can push at-risk youth to make better choices and become productive citizens. At-risk young people who had mentors, according to \u201cThe Mentoring Effect\u201d report, are 76 percent more likely to aspire to enroll in college and are also more likely to hold a leadership position in a club, sports team, school council and other groups.<\/p>\n<p>Rise Up For Youth started in 2005 as a mentoring and gang prevention program. The local nonprofit is fighting to keep kids alive in Wichita, Kan., where four teens were murdered last year. On top of that figure, seven teens have been arrested in homicides that have taken place in the city in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Even one life lost, the organization says, is one too many. That\u2019s why Rise Up For Youth has expanded its program to four Wichita high schools, where volunteers mentor at-risk youth. Part of that job means helping the students pick their careers and visit colleges. The group boasts a 100 percent graduation rate among its high school students and 70 percent went on to enroll in secondary education or military service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong>: Staff Writer for GrantWatch.com<\/p>\n<p><strong> Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/metro\/index.ssf\/2017\/12\/cleveland_foundation_approves.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/metro\/index.ssf\/2017\/12\/cleveland_foundation_approves.html<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kake.com\/story\/37036124\/wins-for-kansas-rise-up-for-youth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.kake.com\/story\/37036124\/wins-for-kansas-rise-up-for-youth<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mentoring.org\/program-resources\/mentor-resources-and-publications\/the-mentoring-effect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.mentoring.org\/program-resources\/mentor-resources-and-publications\/the-mentoring-effect\/<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/networkforyouthsuccess.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Afterschool-Fact-Sheet-July-2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/networkforyouthsuccess.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Afterschool-Fact-Sheet-July-2016.pdf<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As his family celebrated Thanksgiving this year, Abdel Bashiti played games with his cousins and made s&#8217;mores.
