APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to apply for and accept a

Achievement and Possibilities/gap (YAP/gap) Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$1,000: Northern California Grantmakers Grant
BACKGROUND:
Bay Point Works' Youth Achievement and Possibilities/gap (YAP/gap) Project targets the children of low-income,
working parents who live in the unincorporated community of Bay Point in East Contra Costa County. For the past
six years, YAP/gap has assisted these families by offering a structured program of age-appropriate educational and
enrichment activities to young children during the gap in the school calendar between the end of summer school and
the beginning of the new school year. Two years ago we were able to strengthen our services for low-income,
working families by expanding Yap/gap into a year-round project that provides safe activities for children during the
four major school vacations. We are continuing to refine, improve, and expand this innovative service for low
income, working Bay Point families.
