Adults are contributing to youth alcohol access. 2. Underage youth have easy access to alcohol throughout Fresno County. Contributing Factors: Ɣ Adults in focus group discussions and interviews identified the following sources for minors obtaining alcohol and marijuana: parents, family, older people and older siblings. Ɣ According to local experts and stakeholders, adults are not holding youth accountable for alcohol and marijuana use. This includes parents, schools, and the juvenile justice system. Ɣ According to local experts and stakeholders, many adults throughout the community discount alcohol use among youth as a rite of passage. Conversely, adults are either ignoring or unaware of the consequences of alcohol use related to failure in school, criminal behavior, driving under the influence, alcohol or drug dependency, progressive use of more potent and more serious drugs (e.g., methamphetamine), mental health issues, alcohol or drug overdose and death. Ɣ Alcohol is easy for underage minors to get from home, from older siblings or relatives, from parents, or from older adults who will make a purchase for a minor (from focus groups with youth, parents, and professionals). Ɣ Social and cultural norms that make alcohol consumption by youth acceptable and contribute to underage drinking. Goals: 1. Reduce access to alcohol provided by adult social sources, such as parents, older siblings and cousins, or other adults by 2% 2. Raise awareness of adults and youth about the consequences of underage alcohol use, through youth-led awareness campaigns and media strategies Evidence of Need Fresno County youth ages 10-20 consume alcohol at alarming high rates. According to the 2018-19 Fresno County Student Insights Survey, implemented at nine urban and rural schools in Fresno County, 39% of teens report using alcohol in their lifetime, and 19% self- reported having drank alcohol in the last 30 days. About 17% also reported they had their first drink of alcohol, other than a few sips, before age 13. Exhibit A-3 Page 2 of 11 2 The Fresno County Student Insights Survey Data collected also shows that students surveyed find alcohol easily accessible, with 27% reporting it was very easy to access alcohol. Youth reported primarily accessing alcohol from siblings, friends, family members and buying it at Liquor outlets themselves. When asked, For students who use the following, who do they usually get it from (check all that apply), students responded with the following: Parents 27%, Siblings 36%, Friends 67%, Other adult family members 39%, Other adults they know 24%, Adult strangers 33%, and They buy it themselves 16%. Program Details The overall goal of the Reducing Alcohol Access to Youth (RAAY) project is to achieve a measurable reduction in access to alcohol among middle school and high school aged youth by parents, and other adult relatives by 2% and to raise awareness of adults and youth about the consequences of underage alcohol use, through youth-led awareness campaigns and media strategies. Utilizing a youth development framework, YLI will build the leadership capacity and partner with youth in seven public high schools, two middle schools, and one countywide youth council to lead underage drinking prevention campaigns, also known as RAAY campaigns. Together they will coordinate efforts to support the education of peers, parents and caregivers and identify specific environmental prevention campaigns to address underage drinking that are relevant to Fresno County neighborhoods and communities. Please see the following list of schools where YLI staff will conduct outreach, to lead a RAAY campaign along with the Youth Advocacy Leadership League (YALL) countywide youth council: Ɣ Edison High School Ɣ Gaston Middle School Ɣ Kerman High School Ɣ Kerman Middle School Ɣ Orange Cove High School Ɣ Reedley Middle College High School Ɣ Roosevelt High School Ɣ San Joaquin Elementary (K-8) Ɣ Selma High School Ɣ Sunnyside High School Ɣ Tranquility High School In partnership with school site administrators, community-based organizations, and other stakeholders, YLI staff will build youth knowledge of the issue, and build the capacity of program participants to collect data about youth access points to alcohol pertaining to underage drinking. Utilizing the findings, youth will collaborate across the county to identify specific environmental prevention campaigns to address underage drinking in their respective communities, develop a plan of implementation of their chosen campaigns, lead the implementation of said campaign, and participate in an evaluation process that measures effectiveness in their schools, neighborhoods and communities. Evidence-based strategies and example model campaigns from the Friday Night Live ROADMAP will be shared with youth to support campaign selection and implementation. YLI Youth leaders will educate our elected officials, alcohol retailers, parents, caregivers and community stakeholders, about youth access to alcohol from adults and the positive effect of enacting Exhibit A-3 Page 3 of 11 3 reform in alcohol retail marketing practices and social host policies has on youth health and safety. This proposal presents a unique opportunity to apply an evidence-based approach that best fits the problem identified in the youth-led assessment. Evidence of Program Effectiveness An extensive body of research illustrates that positive youth development is an effective approach to preventing problems and increasing positive outcomes for youth. These outcomes include areas such as skill building and social and personal skills. Research has also provided evidence that positive youth development strategies not only have positive effects for youth but also for the sites that house the programs, families, and the broader community (Durlak, Taylor, Kawashima, Pachan, DuPre, Celio, Berger, Dymnicki, & Weissberg, 2007). YLI utilizes youth-adult partnerships as a strategy for creating sustainable community change. Research shows that partnering with youth and respecting their ability to contribute may provide important protective factors for youth. A study conducted by The Innovation Center for Community and Youth Development showed that “involving young people in decision making provides them with the essential opportunities and supports (i.e. challenge, relevancy, voice, cause-based action, skill building, adult structure, and affirmation) that are consistently shown to help young people achieve mastery, compassion, and health.”1 Another key protective factor contributing to resiliency in youth is an internal locus of control, or the feeling of being able to have an impact on one’s environment and on others. Opportunities for meaningful engagement and participation – such as are found in youth-adult partnerships – may provide youth with opportunities to develop and/or strengthen his/her internal locus of control.2 Lastly, YLI has a long history of providing training for and technical assistance to community coalitions and youth-serving organizations across California and nationwide. YLI developed these training modules based on Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (CMCA), a SAMHSA model program that utilizes community-organizing strategies to reduce youth access to alcohol by changing community policies and practices. In order to reduce youth alcohol use, CMCA employs a range of organizing techniques to address legal, institutional, social, and health issues. One of the core CMCA trainings that YLI delivers provides participants with tools and strategies in utilizing Environmental Prevention approaches to reduce youth ATOD use. Environmental prevention strategies aim to produce more sustainable impact by creating communities that promote healthy behaviors and attitudes and reduce high-risk behaviors associated with alcohol use. This Environmental Prevention approach identifies the many components that influence a young person’s decision to use alcohol or other drugs – it focuses not just on the individual, but also on the agent or the substance causing harm to the individual. It also highlights a person’s environment, which consists of the social, economic, physical, political, and cultural settings wherein the individual and agent interact.

A focus of public funding for prevention on activities that target youth and young adults ages 10-25 is needed in Fresno County. Contributing Factors: Ɣ In 2017-18 Fresno Unified 941 students were suspended and 14 expelled due to alcohol or drugs. Ɣ According to Kidsdata.org in Fresno, 40% of youth reported there was a mild problem with drugs and alcohol use at school, 33.3% reported there was a moderate problem with drugs and alcohol use at school, and 26.7% reported there was a serious problem with drugs and alcohol use at school. Ɣ According to Kidsdata.org in Fresno, 36.4% of youth feel A LOT of substance use prevention is provided at school, 63.6% feel only SOME substance use prevention is provided at school, and 18.2% NEITHER AGREE OR DISAGREE that substance use prevention is provided at school. Goals: 1. Retain and augment alternative programming through school-based and community projects that engage youth in primary prevention education and activities. Evidence of Need Friday Night Live (FNL) works across California to reduce underage drinking and other drug use utilizing Youth Development principles and Environmental Prevention strategies. Friday Night Live program components are embedded in a positive Youth Development framework driven by decades of research that proves that young people need a safe environment, opportunity to build skills, experiences developing positive peer and adult relationships, and meaningful and authentic opportunities to demonstrate leadership and contribute to their community through active engagement and involvement, and that these standards need to be infused in all experiences young people have at a community level. In Fresno County, the majority of school and community-based prevention programs use an education and awareness raising approach to reducing substance use and abuse. Far fewer programs engage young people in looking at factors, influences and issues that contribute to substance use and abuse, and in using community level research to drive youth-led efforts, or youth-adult partnerships, to tackle these issues and problems. Exhibit A-4 Page 2 of 7 2 Capacity building is an important consideration in the ability to understand and resolve substance use from a community level perspective. Youth voice and engagement is vital to positive Youth Development and community change efforts, but capacity building in skills, Environmental Prevention and public health knowledge that leads to engagement by youth workers, teachers and support staff, and others who directly work with teens is often constrained by time, limited capacity, and access to relevant tools and materials. Teachers, counselors, youth-serving organizations, faith-based organizational staff have limited access to the necessary support, tools, and training to help them with meaningful youth involvement in substance abuse prevention approaches that look beyond providing alternatives and increasing education. Program Details The Youth Leadership Institute has coordinated the Fresno Friday Night Live/ Club Live for 16 years. Using practices YLI has established in Fresno, as well as those we have developed running the program in three other county Friday Night Live communities (Marin, San Mateo and San Francisco) we propose a program designed to support and engage young leaders in school settings to undertake projects that prevent alcohol and other drug use and promote community health. In partnership with school site administrators, partner community-based organizations, and other stakeholders, YLI staff will build youth knowledge of the issue, and build the capacity of program participants to collect data about youth access points to alcohol pertaining to underage drinking. Evidence-based strategies and example model campaigns from the Friday Night Live ROADMAP will be shared with youth to support campaign selection and implementation. YLI Youth leaders will also educate our elected officials, alcohol retailers, parents, caregivers and community stakeholders, about youth access to alcohol from adults and the positive effect of enacting reform in alcohol retail marketing practices, advertising practices and social host policies has on youth health and safety. The following sites will be implementing the Friday Night Live (FNL) Program meant for high school aged youth, or the Club Live (CL) program meant for middle school aged youth: Ɣ Edison High School Ɣ Gaston Middle School Ɣ Kerman High School Ɣ Kerman Middle School Ɣ Orange Cove High School Ɣ Reedley Middle College High School Ɣ Roosevelt High School Ɣ San Joaquin Elementary (K-8) Ɣ Selma High School Ɣ Sunnyside High School Ɣ Tranquility High School Exhibit A-4 Page 3 of 7 3 Evidence of Program Effectiveness Fresno County Friday Night Live draws on the California Friday Night Live Partnership theory of change that states programs and Chapters that integrate five Youth Development standards of practice (community engagement, leadership and advocacy, relationship building, safety, and skill development) will create settings rich in Youth Development supports and opportunities. This theory is supported by a wealth of Youth Development research going back more than twenty years. YLI organizes its tools, training, and mini- grants program to support allies and programs in creating these environments and making these opportunities available. YLI is also privy to any new tools and evidence-based curriculum in the field as an elected representative of the statewide Friday Night Live Leadership Council. A second and equally important theory is that environmental strategies are effective in reducing youth exposure, access to and desire to use alcohol. This strategy is grounded in significant research and supported by at least three Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHA) model programs that demonstrate measurable positive change from Environmental Prevention approaches. Youth-led interventions that use environmental strategies are more likely to have longer term and systemic impacts than those youth-led projects that focus on raising awareness of the harms of using substances (Deborah A. Fisher, Ph.D, Environmental Prevention Strategies: An Introduction and Overview, 1998). The Friday Night Live Roadmap and the Prevention Youth Council Manual will also be used as the curriculum. The Roadmap was created as a training resource for FNL chapter facilitators ranging in experience from novice to expert. The Roadmap provides facilitators at all levels with a step-by-step guide that leads them through the entire process of supporting a youth-led prevention program and campaign. The Roadmap is based on the evidence-based Youth Development Standards of Practice to help create a standard process across Friday Night Live chapters so that all programs are able to support the common goal of partnering youth with adults to build healthier communities. All FNL Chapters follow a “Roadmap” for youth-led community prevention initiatives that includes: භ Capacity Building – Recruiting youth, creating a vision, gathering an understanding of the environment, and learning about youth-led change, including training for both youth and the adults working with them. භ Assessment – Building action research skills, conducting research and using data for action. භ Planning – Using findings from the assessment to choose a solution and make a plan. භ Implementation – Implementing the identified solutions. භ Evaluation and Reflection – Reflecting on process.
