THIS EFFECTED SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTIVITIES SUCH AS DEVELOPING YOUTH-PARENT TEAMS, ENGAGING COMMUNITY INFLUENCERS, GARNERING RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT GOAL OF YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SPECIFIC TO YOUTH GAMBLING AND ADOPTING POLICIES TO PREVENT YOUTH GAMBLING. TO ADDRESS THIS GAP IN COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR YOUTH GAMBLING PREVENTION, NYCPG DEVELOPED THE LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING MINI GRANT. THE CAPACITY BUILDING MINI GRANT AIMED TO ADDRESS YOUTH GAMBLING FROM A LOCAL COMMUNITY LEVEL. IN 2023, EACH OF THE 13 SUBCONTRACTED AGENCIES/ORGANIZATIONS WERE LOCAL, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAD A VESTED INTEREST IN SUPPORTING HEALTHY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. TO APPLY, AGENCIES NEEDED TO BE IN NEW YORK STATE, TAX EXEMPT AND INTERESTED IN PREVENTING YOUTH GAMBLING. REQUIRED ACTIVITIES INCLUDED THE COMPLETION OF THE 4-HOUR UNDERAGE AND PROBLEM GAMBLING PREVENTION SKILLS TRAINING SERIES, AND THE COMPLETION OF A NYCPG LEAD TRAINING ON CAPACITY BUILDING. THIS TRAINING DISCUSSED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAPACITY BUILDING AND RAISING AWARENESS, PLUS WAYS TO SUSTAIN BUILDING CAPACITY AFTER PROJECT COMPLETION. PARTICIPANTS ALSO WERE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AT LEAST ONE ACTIVITY FOR A COMMUNITY READINESS ASSESSMENT, PARTICIPATE IN MONTHLY PEER SHARING CALLS, AND COMPLETE ACTIVITIES IDENTIFIED TO INCREASE COMMUNITY READINESS TO PREVENT YOUTH GAMBLING. THE FOLLOWING READINESS ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES WERE CONDUCTED THROUGHOUT NEW YORK STATE: 12 FOCUS GROUPS WERE CONDUCTED WITH 168 PARTICIPANTS 32 KEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWS 590 COMMUNITY READINESS SURVEYS 8 GROUP DISCUSSION SESSIONS WITH 193 PARTICIPANTS FROM THESE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES, PROVIDERS IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES RELEVANT TO REACH THEIR TARGET COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND INCREASE READINESS TO ADDRESS YOUTH GAMBLING {LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING 2023 DATA, LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING EVALUATIONS 2023}: SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS RELATED TO YOUTH GAMBLING PREVENTION REACHED 7,087 COMMUNITY MEMBERS PUBLISHED ON FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK. 9 AGENCIES DISTRIBUTED FLYERS AND OTHER RESOURCES TO FOOD PANTRIES, CHURCHES, HOUSING RESIDENTS, ETC. 5 EVENTS WERE CONDUCTED TO RAISE AWARENESS OF YOUTH GAMBLING TO COMMUNITY AND AGENCY MEMBERS. 30 PARTICIPANTS COMPLETED THE YOUTH GAMBLING PREVENTION OASAS TRAIN THE TRAINER AND COMMITTED TO FACILITATING 1-3 SESSIONS IN THEIR COMMUNITY. 3 EDITORIALS/ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN LOCAL NEWSPAPERS, NEWSLETTERS, AND ORGANIZATIONAL FLYERS WERE FORWARDED TO AT LEAST 500 SUBCONTRACTORS' COMMUNITY PARTNERS. HELD 1 SOCIAL MEDIA LIVE EVENT ON INSTAGRAM WITH 544 VIEWERS. 3 AGENCY WEBSITES ADDED YOUTH GAMBLING PREVENTION RESOURCES AND INFORMATION, REACHING 8,524 COMMUNITY MEMBERS. BASED ON INFORMATION FROM LAST YEAR'S 2022 CAPACITY BUILDING MINI GRANT FINAL DATA REVIEW, THE COMMUNITY READINESS AVERAGED STAGE 3, WITH ONLY 6% ABOVE STAGE 4. BASED ON 2023 DATA, COMMUNITY READINESS AVERAGED STAGE 4, WITH 32.43% ABOVE STAGE 4. WE LEARNED IN 2023 THAT WE INCREASED COMMUNITY READINESS FROM A STAGE 3 TO A STAGE 4 THROUGH THE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES, CONVERSATIONS, AND COMMUNITY WORK WE HAVE TAKEN ON THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP. 2024 EFFORTS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE COMMUNITY READINESS BY ENCOURAGING OUR PREVENTION PARTNERS TO START CONVERSATIONS AROUND YOUTH GAMBLING, POLICIES, AND RESOURCES RELATED TO GAMBLING PREVENTION. ACCORDING TO BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF COMMUNITY READINESS LEVELS WITH EXAMPLE ACTIONS FOR CHANGE (ADAPTED FROM THE TRI-ETHNIC COMMUNITY READINESS FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE HANDBOOK), THIS DATA TELLS US THAT THERE IS A CLEAR RECOGNITION THAT SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO PREVENT YOUTH GAMBLING AND THERE MAY EVEN BE A GROUP ADDRESSING IT. HOWEVER, EFFORTS ARE NOT YET FOCUSED OR DETAILED. THIS INFORMATION HELPS NYCPG ADVOCATE FOR CONTINUING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL PREVENTION PARTNERS, AGENCIES, AND CONTINUED WORK IN OUR COMMUNITIES TO RAISE AWARENESS AND BUILD CAPACITY. STATEWIDE CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT YCPG HAS BEEN DEVELOPING AND NURTURING STATEWIDE ASSOCIATION/ORGANIZATION RELATIONSHIPS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND DETERMINED THERE WAS A NEED FOR FURTHER ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE OF PROBLEM GAMBLING WITHIN THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. THIS IS BASED ON THE DATA COLLECTED THROUGH THE 2022 STATEWIDE ORGANIZATIONAL READINESS SURVEY, {ORGANIZATIONAL READINESS SURVEY 2022} THAT STATED "NO"WHEN ASKING "WHEN WE DELIVER OUR SERVICES, YOUTH GAMBLING IS INCLUDED IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RISKY BEHAVIOR", WITH ANOTHER 17.65% SELECTING "UNSURE". IN 2023, NYCPG SUBCONTRACTED WITH 2 STATEWIDE ORGANIZATIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN A STATEWIDE YOUTH GAMBLING PREVENTION GRANT. THESE ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDE THE NEW YORK STATE PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION (NYS PTA), AND FRIENDS OF RECOVERY- NEW YORK (YOUTH VOICES MATTER- NY OR YVM-NY). THESE ORGANIZATIONS WERE SELECTED BECAUSE THEY ARE TAX EXEMPT, BASED IN NEW YORK STATE, AND OFFER SERVICES ACROSS NEW YORK STATE AND HAVE THE CAPACITY TO CARRY OUT THIS GRANT'S REQUIREMENTS. THE STATEWIDE YOUTH GAMBLING PREVENTION GRANT REQUIREMENTS INCLUDED EXPANDING ON THEIR PREVIOUS WORK COMPLETED IN PHASE 1 OF THIS PROJECT AND BUILDING CAPACITY. EACH PROVIDER WAS TASKED WITH REACHING ALL LEVELS OF THEIR ORGANIZATION AND/OR AFFILIATE AGENCIES. THESE INCLUDED STATEWIDE, REGIONAL, COUNTY AND COMMUNITY LEVEL. WORKING WITH THESE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF EACH ORGANIZATION ALLOWS NYS PTA AND YVM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPAN THE READINESS ASSESSMENT BEYOND THE STATE ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL. THROUGH THIS PROJECT, WE WERE ABLE TO BUILD CAPACITY ACROSS NEW YORK STATE BY COMPETING THE FOLLOWING {STATEWIDE CAPACITY BUILDING 2023 DATA}: DISTRIBUTED ORGANIZATIONAL READINESS SURVEYS TO ALL STAFF ACROSS STATEWIDE AGENCIES. CONDUCTED KEY INFORMATION INTERVIEWS AND FOCUS GROUPS WITH OVER 300 PARTICIPANTS. INCREASED ORGANIZATIONAL UNDERSTANDING THAT "GAMBLING PREVENTION IS PART OF OUR MISSION" BY OVER 10%. INCREASED HAVING A "GO TO" STAFF MEMBER THAT IS EDUCATED ON YOUTH GAMBLING BY OVER 7%. INCREASED THE UNDERSTANDING OF STAFF/VOLUNTEERS TO KNOW WHAT GAMBLING IS BY 4%. CREATED AND PASSED 2 RESOLUTIONS ON REGULATION OF VIDEO GAME GAMBLING AND YOUTH GAMBLING AND PRESENTED AT THE 127TH NYS PTA CONVENTION. UPDATED WEBSITE WITH YOUTH GAMBLING RELATED TOOLKITS, MATERIALS, AND SUPPORTS. OFFERED TRAININGS RELATED TO YOUTH GAMBLING PREVENTION TO STATEWIDE STAFF. CREATED A TRAIN THE TRAINER FOR STAFF TO DELIVER TO ACROSS NEW YORK STATE CLUBHOUSES. CREATED A TRAIN THE TRAINER FACILITATOR GUIDE TO DELIVER TRAINING WITH FIDELITY. DELIVERED PILOT VERSION OF THE TRAIN THE TRAINER TO STAFF AND ASKED FOR FEEDBACK. USING THEIR NEWLY LEARNED PREVENTION SKILLS, AND THE SUPPORT OF THE REQUIRED MEETINGS, THE STATEWIDE AGENCIES CONDUCTED THEIR ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES, COMPILED THE DATA, EVALUATED THE DATA, IDENTIFYING GAPS IN READINESS AND SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES TO ADDRESS THESE GAPS. USING THE TRI- ETHNIC CENTER COMMUNITY READINESS ASSESSMENT, IN 2022, THESE DELIVERABLES FOUND THAT 80% OF ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND STAFF ACROSS ALL ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFIED THAT THEIR READINESS TO ADDRESS YOUTH GAMBLING WAS AT A STAGE 4 OR LOWER, OUT OF A POSSIBLE NINE STAGES. OVER 50% OF THE TOTAL RESPONDENTS IDENTIFIED THEIR ORGANIZATION AS A STAGE 1, OR OF HAVING NO AWARENESS. IN 2023, 45% ARE AT A STAGE 1 OF HAVING NO AWARENESS. THIS DATA SHOWS US THAT OVER 5% OF RESPONDENTS REPORT THEIR COMMUNITY HAS INCREASED THEIR READINESS PAST STAGE 1, HAVING NO AWARENESS, AND HAVE ADVANCED THEIR KNOWLEDGE ON YOUTH GAMBLING PREVENTION. {COMMUNITY READINESS SURVEY 2023} X X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 JAMES J MANEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 137150 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22132 0 159282 0 0 0 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 STEVE BLOCK AND GLORIA BLOCK - FAMILY RELATIONSHIP FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B AS PART OF THE ANNUAL AUDIT, OUR INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM PREPARES A DRAFT OF FORM 990 AND RELATED SUPPORTING SCHEDULES FROM OUR INTERNAL RECORDS.
