5 Key Informant Focus Group and Interview Findings Personal Factors Needs Self-Esteem and Identity And at times, I want to say my biggest concern is especially with females is looking for love in the wrong places. Interpersonal Skills Innocent encounters escalate because of lack of communication skills. Identifying Persona Life Goals I talked to a student from another school and said so what are you going to do in the future? He said, I don t know. Nobody s even asked me. Don t nobody ever talk to me about that? Black African American male. He said You re the only person that talks to me about what I m gone do after school And I just asked and um he didn t have a plan. He felt like nobody reached out. Environmental Factors Needs Access to Basic Needs There are kids that go without food the only time they eat is at school or with us. Access to Recreational and Leisure Activities When questioning teens on why they were loitering on business property after hours...teens said we don t have anything else to do. Social Support Lack of role models to show them right things to do. When asked why they hang out with the wrong crowd, they respond Who else do I have to hang out with? Perceptions of Teachers Attitudes Now days, they want to get a check. That s all they care for. It s not about caring for the child. It s about getting a check.
6 Recommendations for MPCEC Program Planning Included: Strengths and Opportunities A list was provided of strengths and existing opportunities in the community that should be considered when planning programs to facilitate the accomplishment of the organizations missions.
