COMMUNITY


COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The original ELITE program was created in 2006 as an 11-week business boot camp for high school sophomores and juniors in three of the four Peoria high schools.
The weekly 1-2 hours in school classes were taught by teams of trained business professionals and community leaders who possessed the moral authority to advise kids on what would and would not work when they were looking to land and keep
a job. Although we presented them with so skills to obtain entry level jobs, that was only the carrot; the real mo ve was to help build character in young people and help mold them into produc ve ci zens and future leaders.
The young people who nish the course and become “ELITE Cer ed” will get the opportunity to apply for meaningful part- me jobs during the ELITE Job Fair. In the past ten years the ELITE Youth Program has provided a vehicle for more than a thousand young people to get jobs. These provide them with spending money, a healthy occupa on of me, and helped them build self-con dence with interviewing techniques and resume wri ng skills for their next job.
What is ELITE?
Ask any of the hundreds of kids that have gone through the ELITE High School Program and they will tell you, “ELITE is maximum e ort.” The ELITE High School Program is a 20-week intensive training program for Peoria area high school students, where they will get cer ed in communica on skills (verbal and non-verbal), resume wri ng, interviewing techniques, proper dress, and posi ve a tude in the workplace as well as in school and at home.
A er the tremendous success of the ELITE
High School Program, law-enforcement and community leaders sought out ELITE to see if the principles we use in the schools would work at community events that were being disrupted by unruly mob behavior.
One of the biggest obstacles would be nding a large enough volunteer base to man those large events. ELITE founder, Carl Cannon, had a light bulb moment. What if he could use ELITE’s concept with men and women, who have “been there and done that” - people that would have the street credibility to deal with this type of behavior.
In the fall of 2011, ELITE entered into a pilot program with the U.S. Department of Jus ce. The original youth training program was adapted
for the work release popula on and o ered to those individuals who were eligible and interested in par cipa ng in what is now the ELITE RE-ENTRY Program. To date more than 90 individuals have graduated from the program. It is a win-win for both the community and the men and women, who are ready to make a fresh start.
The next ELITE RE-ENTRY class will begin July 2017. There is limited sea ng; call 282-1510 to secure your slot.
All Community Outreach presenta ons are age appropriate, with messages for schools as well as community and civic organiza ons. To date, the message of HOPE through the Youth Outreach Department has been delivered na onwide to more than 500,000 people. To nd out more informa on on fees, and to schedule a program for your school, contact an ELITE sta person at 282-1510 or by email at [email protected].

Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
ELITE is working in conjunc on with Moonlight Coali on to help young people ages 16-24 who are low income and/or school drop-outs, homeless, pregnant or paren ng, who require addi onal assistance to complete an educa on program. Moonlight Coali on is preparing them to earn their GED, while ELITE is conduc ng an accelerated 6-week ELITE program with an emphasis on elimina ng employment barriers.

Gangfree Training
ELITE Compliance O cers are now cer ed to train evidenced-based best prac ces in gang preven on from grades two through high school. This training is an extension of the ELITE Don’t Start Ini a ve.
The vision of GangFree is to prevent young people from joining gangs, with its mission being to eliminate the base of gang membership by having a genera on of young people say “no” to gangs and “yes” to posi ve lifestyles.
Na onwide there are an es mated 31,000 gangs, with a membership of over 850,000. In Peoria there are more than 20 iden ed gangs with more than 500 iden ed gang members.
ELITE is pro-ac vely working to decrease and eventually eliminate gang recruitment of our young people. We encourage other agencies and youth programs to call the ELITE o ce at 282-1510 to schedule your training and to inquire about our fee structure.

HRYC Grow Our Own Scholarship Program
Hope Renewed Youth Conference (HRYC) and ELITE Youth Outreach formed a partnership in summer of 2014. While ELITE prepares young people through in-school training, HRYC is an annual 3-day fun- lled educa onal event for youth ages 11-18 that takes place in the month of June in Peoria, IL.
Beginning in 2017, HRYC focus will change from mentoring young people; to providing scholarship support for those young people who commit to returning to Peoria and working in Peoria Public Schools or for the Peoria Police Department for a minimum of 3 years.
The goal is to stop losing the talent once they graduate from college of our young inner-city people of color, as well as to increase the diversity of both the Peoria Public Schools and Peoria Police Department.
For more informa on contact Sherry Cannon at [email protected].
