The E-Accountability Foundation announces the
'A for Accountability' Award
to those who are willing to whistleblow unjust, misleading, or false actions and claims of the politico-educational complex in order to bring about educational reform in favor of children of all races, intellectual ability and economic status. They ask questions that need to be asked, such as "where is the money?" and "Why does it have to be this way?" and they never give up. These people have withstood adversity and have held those who seem not to believe in honesty, integrity and compassion accountable for their actions. The winners of our "A" work to expose wrong-doing not for themselves, but for others - total strangers - for the "Greater Good"of the community and, by their actions, exemplify courage and self-less passion. They are parent advocates. We salute you.
Winners of the "A":
Johnnie Mae Allen
David Possner
Dee Alpert
Aaron Carr
Harris Lirtzman
Hipolito Colon
Larry Fisher
The Giraffe Project and Giraffe Heroes' Program

$1 Million Grant For Ohio Department of Job and Family Services
Grant Continues Services for At-Risk Youth of Cincinnati
News Release
ETA News Release: [09/22/2004] Contact Name: Lorette Post Phone Number: 202-693-3984 Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao Announces $1 Million Grant For Ohio Department of Job and Family Services: Grant Continues Services for At-Risk Youth of Cincinnati CINCINNATI - U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao today presented $1 million to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to continue providing jobs and employment services for at-risk Cincinnati youth. The grant will support the Cincinnati Youth Employment and Development Initiative, which helps connect youth ages 14-22 to training and employment opportunities. "It's so important for at risk young people to have access to training and counseling so they can find good jobs and make a good start in life," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. "By fostering strong ties to the community and to work, we can help these young people build a bridge to hope and opportunity." YEDI is a Greater Cincinnati youth employment partnership between the Cincinnati Youth Collaborative which provides administrative leadership, the Citizens' Committee on Youth which readies 14 to 15-year-olds for subsidized jobs, and the Urban League of Greater Cincinnati which prepares older youth, ages 16 to 22, for unsubsidized work. Other local employers also participate including community, faith-based and neighborhood organizations. Local businesses are the other key ingredient that ensures meaningful work experiences for local youth. Today's award is the remaining amount of a two-year grant to the program. During the summer of 2004, of the 1,100 youth employed in both subsidized and unsubsidized jobs, the program achieved a retention rate of 85 percent. This was accomplished through emphasis on staff training, job readiness and continual ongoing support for employers and youth. An average of 200 employers have participated in the program. "YEDI has placed over 1,100 young people in summer jobs and another 370 in year-round jobs this year alone. More than 6,100 youth have participated in year-round employment and job development activities in the four years since the program began," said Emily Stover DeRocco, assistant secretary of labor for employment and training. "Local partnerships are the key to the success of employment and training programs, as this collaboration proves. These partners have provided the community with quality youth employment solutions and employers with good candidates to fill open jobs." YEDI is also working closely with the Southwest Ohio Workforce Investment Board's Youth Council which coordinates youth workforce development activities in the Southwest Ohio area. # # # |
