| Client Note 1 | Client Note 1 - Additional Information on Program ServicesOur program is based on love and respect, one that builds confidence, instills discipline and provides positive educational experiences. A unique forum was chosen the golf course. Golf is frequently considered the game of successful people, who would provide excellent role models for Chi Chis Kids. Golf also requires self-control, responsibility and respect for others. Outstanding athletic ability, size and dexterity are not necessary to participate. Success for Chi Chis Kids had to be through (as Chi Chi said), love, understanding, compassion, and self-esteem. Though Chi Chi was raised in a poor family, it was rich in all of those qualities.The target group for Academy activities is children ranging in ages from 5 to 17. We currently have just over 900 participants & students in our program.Some of the candidates for the programs are referred by the Pinellas County School System, consisting of 79 elementary and 27 middle schools, according to the Pinellas County School System website. Also referrals may come from private counselors or psychologists, community agencies, and, in the case of one program, the court system.To be accepted into the program, children must meet two or more of the following requirements: (1) abused; (2) from a single parent home; (3) on some form of government assistance; (4) have poor grades; (5) be socially withdrawn.The Academy uses a holistic approach in its programs. Emphasis is placed on tutoring, social skills, core values, personal grooming, business skills, retail, art, landscaping, and golf. Golf was chosen as a key ingredient for the program because it does not require unusual size, speed, or strength for excellence. The sport does, however, require personal discipline, concentration, honesty, and tenacity. These qualities plus exposure to role models of successful adult golfers made that game a natural choice.The Public Partnership SchoolThe Public Partnership School is a voluntary mini-school for those fourth through eighth grade students who are not achieving at their grade level, have low self-esteem or have difficulty adjusting to an academic environment. Students learn through interactive learning experiences in the fields of management, marketing, retail sales, landscaping, agronomy and various other real-world business environments. Through the school's Shadow Program the students, on a rotating basis, get to spend time with adults in every department of the Golf Club and the Chi Chi Rodriguez Foundation. While learning about the various jobs, the children see how basic educational skills like math and reading are used on an everyday basis. The teachers feel that students are much more enthusiastic when they see how the things they learn are involved beyond the classroom. Plus, as our teachers like to point out, "Social skills are an integral part of our educational setting." This would be great in every classroom. Any good teacher tries to simulate a real world environment, and that's what we've created here. The focus of the school is to help "at-risk" children (discouraged learners who have low self esteem or stressful family conditions). "It fits in a model for drop-out prevention."The Pinellas County School system identifies the children in need of these special surroundings and provides the teachers and principal, while the Foundation provides the assistants, facilities, and the classroom enrichment materials. The golf club delivers the real life learning experience. "We maximize the resources that the students would receive at mainstream schools, and then provide them with additional support. The students have a much greater opportunity to succeed because of that support." The small school atmosphere, individual attention, counseling, availability of student services and special instructional components taught by the Pinellas County certified teachers foster a desire in Chi Chi's Kids to succeed in school and life. The First Tee of Clearwater ProgramThe purpose of the First Tee Program at the Chi Chi Rodriguez Academy is to provide the students with a different perspective of life and its fundamental values.As one of the premier youth character-education programs in the country, The First Tee Life Skills Experience has helped many children increase their potential for success through the game of golf. The program is predicated on Nine Core Values inherently connected with golf, such as integrity, respect and sportsmanship. These values serve as the framework that helps children from all walks of life to achieve higher grades, higher confidence and better social and communication skills, with proven results.After School Enrichment ProgramThe After School Enrichment Program provides academic assistance and teaches retail skills, horticulture and personal life management skills. The goal is to reinforce and further academic studies in a positive, hands-on environment. Self-discipline is taught through the game of golf. The program has been in operation since 1979. In 2013, a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club became official as a chartered and licensed facility making the Club eligible for membership into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. This membership allows the Club to receive funding from the national group. The Boys & Girls Club provides a full time on site Director, programming, risk management and two part time staff members. The Foundation provides one part time staff member along with The First Tee Program, equipment and coaches, facility maintenance and insurance.The Academy and a staff of professional educators, specialists and volunteers are the mentors for students who are facing difficult family and personal situations at home. Also, this program now has a partnership with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Pinellas County, where our students are matched with a Big Brother or Sister to mentor them as well.Students participate in programs designed to meet their individual needs. Homework is always completed first with assistance available. Students work hard at accomplishing tasks and reaching goals. Guest speakers, personal grooming, etiquette classes and golf are only a few of the activities integrated into a curriculum designed to encourage positive changes in self-image and academic performance.The Community Service ProgramThe Academy provides a safe supervised environment for local youth to fulfill their graduation, scholarship and organizational volunteer service hour requirements. During the after school program the staff needs help with student homework assistance and mentoring. In addition, the campus is an approved site for adjudicated youth and adults to perform their court ordered community service hours. |
