The Community Partnerships
Mini-Grants Initiative
“The DC Trust is privileged to work with our Mayor to deploy the
funding, technical assistance and support that can produce a brighter
future for young people and their families across our great City.
A Safer, Stronger DC benefits us all."
--Marie C. Johns, Chair, Board of Directors, DC Trust
In the Fall of 2015, Mayor Muriel Bowser launched a comprehensive plan to
make District neighborhoods safer, stronger, and more vibrant places to
live. The Safer, Stronger DC plan includes a number of measures that will
bring stability to and increase opportunities for District residents living in
some of our most under-resourced neighborhoods. As a part of Safer,
Stronger DC, the Community Partnerships Mini-Grants Initiative supports
organizations and individuals addressing key priorities in five District
neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by crime, poverty,
unemployment, and other social indicators.
The DC Trust is pleased to partner with Mayor Bowser to implement this
important initiative. By fostering partnerships, funding quality programs,
providing training and building the capacity of individuals and organizations
working within their communities, this initiative will help to build and
strengthen community-based networks of services and supports. Working
together, we can ensure that all of the District’s youth and families have the
opportunity to thrive.

DC SCORES is one of the largest non-profit youth development organizations in the District. Its founder realized that bonds
between teammates built on the soccer field forged a supportive community for poetry workshops -- which, in turn, built literacy
skills and a forum for self-expression. The development of leadership skills through healthy competition prepares students to act
as agents of change in their communities through service-learning projects. Through this funded project, DC SCORES poetry
sessions teach students how to write, analyze and perform various forms of individual and group poetry. Additional service
learning sessions foster civic participation and research skills. Youth learn key values of teamwork, leadership, and commitment.

Access Youth will serve students at HD Woodson High School from PSA 604 through two mediation-based programs. The goals of the
programs are to: 1) reduce fights and threatening behavior in order to reduce suspension and/or arrest, and 2) improve student attendance
in order to reduce truancy and court referrals and exposure to violence occurring outside of school. Both programs focus on keeping youth
in school, where they are better able to avoid participating in or becoming a victim of violent or criminal activity taking place on city streets
and in their communities, as well as maximize their educational opportunities and academic performance. These programs use mediation
and support services to enable effective communication among the youth and adults involved in the situation, build understanding of the
root cause of the problem, resolve conflict effectively, and create solutions that youth can commit to in order to change course, prevent
reoccurrences, and move toward a more positive future. The programs provide students with exposure to and practice of stress
management and communication skills that can help them reduce anger and violent reactions and manage their emotions more effectively.

DC SCORES is one of the largest non-profit youth development organizations in the District. Its founder realized that bonds
between teammates built on the soccer field forged a supportive community for poetry workshops -- which, in turn, built literacy
skills and a forum for self-expression. The development of leadership skills through healthy competition prepares students to act
as agents of change in their communities through service-learning projects. Through this funded project, DC SCORES poetry
sessions teach students how to write, analyze and perform various forms of individual and group poetry. Additional service
learning sessions foster civic participation and research skills. Youth learn key values of teamwork, leadership, and commitment.
