CHILDREN'S SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />PROGRAMS 2017-18 <br />Program Descriptions: Each program funded in 2017-18 has two descriptions = the Taxonomy <br />description and a general description. The Taxonomy description is from the Taxonomy of <br />Human Services, a standardized national classification system that indexes community <br />resources based on the services they provide and the target populations they serve. The <br />Taxonomy description eliminates duplication of services issues. For the purposes of brevity, the <br />secondary Taxonomy description has been shortened. The general description adds <br />information specific to each program. <br />Cost Per Child: CSAC funds a wide variety of programs addressing children's needs in Indian <br />River County. Therefore, it should be understood that the following variables affect the <br />average cost per child. <br />• Some programs are provided for individuals, others are for groups. <br />• Some programs require highly trained professionals, while other can utilize volunteers. <br />• Some programs are residential or home visit programs; while others are day programs. <br />• Some of the programs are single source funding and others are shared funding. <br />• Some programs are for one occurrence, while others serve one child the entire school <br />year. <br />BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />403 N US HWY 1, Fort Pierce, FL 34950 1 www.bbbsbigs.org <br />Children of Prisoners to Children of Promise (COP) <br />Grant: $15,000 <br />Funds Used: $15,000 <br />Total Children Served: 30 <br />Total Adults Served: 30 <br />Taxonomy #: PH -150.550-10 <br />Program Description: This community-based program provides one-on-one mentoring for <br />children whose family member(s) are incarcerated in state or federal prison. <br />Collaboration: Indian River County School Board, RSVP, United Way of Indian.
