The purposed use of the requested funds is to support the children and volunteers in the Guardian ad Litem Program of Okaloosa County. (See attached memo from Alan Abramowitz, Executive Director, Florida Statewide Guardian ad Litem Program, June 23, 2014.) 2. Program Purpose (1-3 sentences): Please identify the services, target population and how many will be served while completing the following statement. The purpose of this program is... to provide for the 434 abused and neglected children of Okaloosa County that are in the Guardian ad Litem program to include clothing, food, diapers, attendance at camps, participation in sporting events, scholastic field trips, after school activities, band instruments, and other special needs for the children. These funds will also be used to educate new volunteers and for the continued training of the 211 active volunteers and provide for recognition and appreciation events. 3. Proposed use of LETF proceeds: Pleasc identify the proposed use(s) of LETF proceeds and specify how it fulfills the statutorily authorized uses set forth in Section 932.7055, Florida Statutes. These proceeds shall not be utilized to meet normal operating needs of the applicant agency/organization. Most of the children in this program have been emotionally, physically, or sexually abused, or abandoned and have witnessed domestic violence and substance abuse. Their value system has been significantly degraded. Without intervention these children will likely follow their parents and abuse their spouses and children as well as drugs and alcohol. By providing needs that reflect the life style of a normal law abiding young person this program can significantly influence their value system at a time when it is in its most formative stage and preclude future criminal behavior. 4. Has your agency received funding from LETF within the last three (3) years? (If yes, identify the source of that funding, when it was received and the dollar amount that the agency has received).
