.., Given an emerging body of research that documents the effectiveness of faith-based social interventions, the program design also provides faith activities as an option to participating youth and their families. Because some participants will have unique needs that are associated with their foster care status, special services must be made available to assist these youth in transitioning from a camp into independent living. Finally, frequent meetings with parents will be provided as a follow-up to the parenting training. These meetings will reinforce the parents' role and responsibilities to their youth. CHCADA's proposed program, Fuerzas Unidas, includes all of the programmatic components outlined in the RFP application. Additionally, we will integrate into the core services several new elements based upon our experience in working with out-of-school youth. All of the above programmatic components have been tested and retested In CHCADA's other prevention/intervention programs with low-income, Latino youth.
