The local Escambia County Juvenile Justice Council has targeted the Pensacola area housing projects as contributing to the majority of anger, violence, stealing, and truancy cases originated. The number of youth entering the court system is skyrocketing, at a rate that exceeds the state average. The Milk and Honey Outreach Ministries facility will be a recognized and supervised safe haven for the Attucks Court Community. Providing a safe haven with benefits to at-risk youth who spend their after school, summer, and weekend hours without guidance keeps them from becoming targets for negative influences by their peers, gangs, drug dealers, and criminals. The facility will offer creative thinking programs, skill sets that will encourage, and make ready each participant for an ever-changing technology market, as well as provide a home base location for up to 120 girls on a weekly basis. Activities such as academic tutoring, homework assistance, computer labs, group counseling, Friday night workshops, fitness training, mentoring, teaching core values (respect, love, responsibility, self-control, and academic excellence), will allow children and youth opportunities to reach their fullest potential. The expansion of GEMS, after school and summer camps activit ies will substantially increase with the construction of a central facility. This will impact the target population by decreasing the waiting list for Milk and Honey and allow them to be a service provider to the overall community.
