Another 20 percent travel to Our House from the Otay~San ysidro area, while 5 Percent come from S~rithin the city limits of Imperial Beach. The remaining 5 p°rcent live in Bonita, National City, or other areas of San Diego County. The ethnic composition of oar client population is fairly consistent with figures for the area in general;l 75 percent are white, 20 percent are Mexican-American, and 5 percent are Black, Oriental, or other races. Our douse attracts youthful drug users and other youth who are experiencing; problems ai?d dysfunctions, in greater number; approximately 75 percent of our clients demon- strate drug use and~or abuse as either a presenting or developmental problem. Approx- imately 85 percent of our clients are between the ages of 11~ and 21, Stith the median age being 16.

We believe it crucial for young people involved in drug and life experimen- tation to have a viable alternative, a place where they can participate in legal, constructive and maturing activities; relate to positive adult ~tnd youth peer models paid and volunteer staff; and become familiar with professional and pares-pro- fessional counselors and the services they are able to provide when needed. The character and atmosphere of our Drop-In Center rests firmly on the belief that the prevention and resolution of substance abuse and other socially dysfunctional behavior among youth is strong7_y related to the availabiJ_ity of human alternatives tailored to individual needs. This ;ls an alternative of friendships and personally meaningful relationships. bur Drop-:Ln Center Program is a most effective surd viable method to provide this human alternative and to attract a_nd help youthful drug users. ~, ,.. , ^,. ,rte„+~~ a. non-threatening "neutral space", Our Drop-In Center affords LiieSe p~ 4a~-~=-~V.~ ,~~-~..- housed in an old and warm t-wo-storey frame home.

Mingling through this group who are talld.ng, talung part in activities, drawing the youth out, building relation- ships based on mutual trust and understanding.- 'For youth who come tc the "Center" voluntarily, there is no presure to "get help" or to "See a counselor". Sometimes for younger people who are referred to us, t~ro have one of the volunteers use the "buddy system", going places, building a relationship, etc, with supervision from a staff person. Then they would be introduced into our he 1rnoZ~ring they are welcomed and accepted here. For both the Drop-Tn Center, he/M emphasis is on malting the young person desire the help.

TASK 3. To prrovide social, recreational, and other meaningful alternatives to the in- activity that can breed crime, drug abuse, and Further alienation. Our Drop-In Center provides a wide variety of social and recreational activities to fill the time of young pEOple who might otherwise be involved in drug taking and abuse. These activities include field trips, arts & crafts, films, various cooking classes and experiences, volleyball and other sports actiti~.ties (the center has its c~wn sand lot volleyball court, btiu It by member clients). Special. events, such as a Thanlsgiveing Dinner, Haunted House on Halloween for area youngsters, da:ices, etc. are planned and implemented periodically. Tie projects are instigated by the member clients. Their involvement in planning, arranging and putting on these events with llrop-Tn Center staff support, helps them to develop leadership, learn. how to work together, and realize that warm sense of positive accomplishment so generally missing fmm their lives. Public Service Projects are also an ongoing feature of our Drop-In Center activities. Recent examples include a Christmas party for needy children, and an area-wide drive to col.l.ect and distribute clothing and other goods for local fire victims. i- ~~~ Pa{~e 12)) This nctir-fow-zd ability to do sorietizin~ useful for those less fortunate, is a new, and very positive ex~peric:nce for rnwny of our merrber~clients, ' T11",i{ ~~.

Other Existing Programs in thw Area; - There are no agencies providing similar services in our generaLl~y defined service area. The Chula Vista City recreation Centex provides limited. recreational activities to a small number of young people. The Youth Service Buxeau sees clients on a referral only basis, and then generaL7,y only after arrest. South Bay Guidance Center offers counseling services on a fee basis. Southwood b;ental Health Center and Vista Hill.IIospital offer residential treatment for drug abusers for a fee. In the remainder of the South Bay area, there is only one free medical clinic (7laperial Beach Free Clinic and Women's Clinic. There are also three small recreational centers serving specific neighborhood clientele in Imperial Beach, in Otay Mesa, and in San Ysidro, and Satori, a drug education program. There is no overlap in services between our agency and any of these mentioned. In fact, the lack of youth serving; agencies, with the exception of our own, in this entire region is generally acknowledged.
