It is a copyrighted program and can only be conducted by affiliate Boys 8~ Girls Clubs. The program is designed to inform and empower youth in order that they might make good decisions around the issues of drug, alcohol tobacco use. The program is also designed to increase self-esteem in participants. Until recently, most prevention programs failed, in large part because they were based on faulty assumptions about why young people begin using tobacco, alcohol, and drugs in the first place. Early prevention efforts relied on scare tactics and moral exhortations, expressing prohibitionist views that linked drugs to dangerous criminal influences. Few of these programs were systematically evaluated, but those that were failed to show reduced drug use among particpants. Responding to the urgent need for an effective prevention program, Boys & Girls Clubs of America developed and field-tested a comprehensive program to help young people develop skills to resist tobacco, alcohol, other drug use and premature sexual activity. The results were outstanding. Called SMART Moves, the program is based on two rigorously tested curricula: Life Skills Training (Gilbert Botvin, Ph.D., Cornell University) and Project SMART (William Hansen, Ph.D., University of Southern California). SMART Moves is now used successfully in communities across the nation. The program is based on a resistance training/social skills model. Using small group activities, it teaches young people to recognize and resist media influences and peer pressures to engage in tobacco, alcohol, other drug use and early sexual involvement. SMART Moves recognizes that in addition to resistance training and the development of social skills, self-esteem is a very important factor in regulating basic human drives and attitudes. When children are made to feel that they matter, that they have a unique contribution to make, and when they are helped to understand their feelings, they NONPROFIT GRANT APPLICATION FISCAL YEAR 2005-06 Page 2 IIOYS & GIRLS CWIB of rNe a~ ~auuo SMART Moves -Program Name are less likely to endanger their own health or that of others by indulging in behaviors that put them at risk. SMART Moves also recognizes that in order for youth to loam and apply prevention principles, prevention programs must include parents and members of the community. SMART Moves uses a team approach to implement the program. The prevention team consists of Club staff, community representatives, parents and older teens. The objective of the SMART Moves program is to prevent the onset of tobacco, alcohol and other drug use, and sexual involvement by young people. This is accomplished by: • Increasing participants' knowledge about tobacco, alcohol and other drugs and sexuality. • Increasing communication among staff members, parents, guardians and Club members regarding tobacco, alcohol, other drugs and adolescent sexual involvement. • Helping pre-teens identify and resist peer and media pressures to use tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, and understand the physical and social changes taking place in their lives. • Helping teens develop and improve skills around making decisions, resisting social and peer pressures, and coping with the stress of growing up. The SMART Moves curriculum is comprised of the following components: Be SMART: An in-service training that provides staff and volunteers with an overview of the program, and suggests ways to incorporate the prevention message into ongoing Club programs. SMART Kids Make SMART Moves: A skills development program for boys and girls ages 6 to 9. The program focus is on self-awareness, decision-making and interpersonal skills, while communicating age-appropriate information about tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. Start SMART: A resistance skills program for youth ages 9 to 12 that focuses on ways to identity and resist peer, social and media pressures to use tobacco, alcohol, other drugs NONPROFIT GRANT APPLICATION FISCAL YEAR 2005-06 Pale 3 HO~YS & GTRLS CWB OF TM 61C-ISLeNU sMART Moves -Program Name or become sexually involved. k inGudes age-appropriate discussions of puberty and friendships. Stay SMART: A social skills program for adolescents ages 13 to 15 that teaches resistance skills, stress reduction techniques, communication skills, assertiveness training and life planning.

SMART Parents: A program for parents that emphasizes communication skills and factual information about tobacco use, drug use, alcohol use, and ado?escent sexuality. Act SMART: An age-appropriate program developed with the American Red Cross, to educate youngsters about HIV/AIDS. This curriculum emphasizes sexual abstinence and the avoidance of drugs as the most effective ways to prevent HIV/AIDS transmission and infection. Through these program components, 600 youth will be involved in small group prevention activities; more than 2400 will be involved in Club/community-wide prevention activities; 100 parents will be trained; and 85 volunteers will help in community service projects. The Boys & Girls Club of the Big Island has expanded its services to Kea'au and Pahoa. In Kea'au the Club operates at the Kea'au Middle School. The Club at Kea'au is open each day after-school and provides programs in education, health & life skills, sports & fitness and character and leadership development. In Pahoa, the Club operates out of the Nanawale Community Center. The Club in Pahoa also offers its programs each day after- school. The programs in Hilo and Pahoa are the same as the programs offered in Kea'au. The Boys 8 Girls of the Big Island is requesting an increase in funding from the County of Hawaii for the fiscal year 2005-2006 in order to sustain its programs at all three sites (Hilo, Kea'au &Pahoa). All three sites are partially funded by the State of Hawaii's Office of Youth Services and these funds are expected to continue into the new fiscal year. The program in Pahoa however was funded with "seed" funds from a Federal grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention. The Pahoa programs are also currently funded through the Hawaii County Meth Initiative. Increased funding from the County of Hawaii will allow all three sites to continue to provide these much needed programs.
