Miscellaneous Resolution # 85057
BY: Health and Human Resources Committee--Nancy McConnell, Chairperson
IN RE: Camp Oakland/Youth Assistance--Acceptance of 1984-85 Skillman
Foundation Grant Funds
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS since 1967, the Skillman Foundation has provided grants to
the Oakland County Probate Court to provide primary funding for family
camps at Camp Oakland, Inc., Oxford, Michigan, for mothers and youngsters
who would not otherwise be able to have such an experience; and
WHEREAS the Skillman Foundation, on November 6, 1984, agreed to
a new grant to the Oakland County Probate Court in the amount of $144,300
for the 1984-85 grant year, with a stipulation that the grant be expended
solely in support of the programs, purposes, and budget detailed in the
Probate Court's proposal submitted November 4, 1984; and
WHEREAS the Probate Court deems it essential to accept these funds
to continue the above-named programs.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners does hereby gratefully acknowledge and accept the grant
in the amount of $144,300 from the Skillman Foundation of Detroit to the
County of Oakland through the Probate Court, Juvenile Division.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Health and Human Resources Committee,
I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

PROGRAM PROPOSALS FOR 1984/1985
We requested funding for the 1984/1985 budget year for the Camp Oakland Summer Camp
(Family Camp) and three staff persons in the Youth Assistance Program as follows:
CAMP OAKLAND FAMILY CAMP - $18,000
We plan to continue the Family Camp Program in the summer of 1985. It will
operate in much the same way as in 1984. It will consist of a nine-day session, with
the number of families involved depending on the size of the families. In this way
we maximize the use of the facility and allow as many children to attend as
possible.
The Family Camp component of the Summer Camp Program has gained its primary
support from the Skillman Foundation. The balance for Family Camp and support
for the regular camp program comes from donations and campership money raised
by local Youth Assistance Programs and Camp Oakland Youth Programs, Inc.
II. YOUTH ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS - $126,322
A. Community Organization - $47,685
Our Social Worker in community organization will continue to devote time to
direct service efforts in local Youth Assistance Programs. His work will
continue in the manner as in previous years. He will spend time to assist the
Oakland-County Youth Assistance Advisory Council and local Youth Assistance
Programs in finance, youth involvement, career exploration and strategic
planning.
B. Training and Staff Supervision - $47,551
This program has been productive in the past and we plan to continue it in the
future. We will provide intervention in family neighborhood disputes by using
the skills of the Social Worker assigned. Along with that, she will continue the
training in casework methods for new Youth Assistance staff. She will
continue to provide supervision for those staff in casework-only positions.
Because of her experience, she will be able to provide casework consultation
to all of our Youth Assistance staff as needed.
C. Volunteer Programs - $31,086
The PLUS Program is functioning in twenty Youth Assistance Programs. The
Case Aide Program serves the entire county (a one-to-one volunteer program
for official wards of the court). The worker assigned to this project will share
work activities with two other existing staff members who have been assigned
to recruit volunteers for official wards of the Court. This will allow us to
achieve the same all-over goals on a more efficient basis and at the same time
provide more intensive services to the local communities. Each worker will
coordinate existing PLUS Programs and will assist the local Youth Assistance
Programs in coordinating some Case Aide activities in a specific area of the
county. The Skillman supported staff person will aid our Youth Assistance
Program in a part of the county with their overall volunteer recruitment and
training. This will greatly aid our overall volunteer recruitment effort
throughout our program.
