MOONLIGHT COALITION
Mission Statement
By focusing on accessible education opportunities in
the 61605 region, Moonlight helps to re-emphasize the importance of education and literacy. With a GED, residents who are currently unemployed or underemployed will be able to access higher paying jobs, increasing their economic
stability and by association, that of the targeted neighborhood.
What is Moonlight Coalition?
Moonlight Coalition for Adult Learning was originally established in 1994 to provide organized activities for young members of the community to combat juvenile delinquency and prevent crime. Organized sports like basketball were combined with GED instruction as a way to break down barriers for those who thought formal education wasn’t accessible or “cool.”
Today, Moonlight focuses on providing easy access to GED education for those seeking to earn their high school diploma. In direct contrast to other programs that only take new students at the beginning of each semester and that are located outside of local communities, Moonlight focuses on providing accessible, open education opportunities, reaching those in need of support in the communities where they live and work. At this time, Moonlight provides GED and adult literacy education to adults ages 17 and over at Proctor Recreation Center and Logan Recreation Center. Moonlight Coalition honors its graduates with a cap and gown graduation ceremony twice a year.
Open enrollment is one of the keys to our success. You can drop in to a class at any of the times listed below without needing to register or pay a fee. In fact, there is no cost at all to attend these classes and all supplies are provided. Join our GED classes taught by Hedy Elliott-Gardner, a certi ed teacher. Register with Proctor Center at 673-9183.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
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 effort.” The ELITE High School Program is a 20-week intensive training program
for Peoria area high school students, where they will get certi ed in communication skills (verbal and non-verbal), resume writing, interviewing techniques, proper dress, and positive attitude in the workplace as well as in school and at home.
All Community Outreach presentations are age appropriate, with messages for schools as well as community and civic organizations. To date, the message of HOPE through the Youth Community Outreach Department has been delivered nationwide to more than 500,000 people. To nd out more information on fees, and to schedule a program for your school, contact an ELITE staff person at 282-1510 or by email at [email protected].
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 soft skills to obtain entry level jobs, that was only the carrot; the real motive was to help build character in young people and
help mold them into productive citizens and future leaders.
The young people who nish the course and become “ELITE Certi ed” will get the opportunity to apply for meaningful part-time 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 occupation of time, and helped them build self-con dence with interviewing techniques and resume writing skills for their next job.
After 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 Justice. The original youth training program
was adapted for the work release population and offered to those individuals who were eligible and interested in participating 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.
If you are interested in the next ELITE RE-ENTRY class please call 282-1510.

Gangfree Training
ELITE Compliance Of cers are now certi ed to train evidenced-based best practices in gang prevention from grades two through high school. This training is an extension of the ELITE Don’t Start Initiative.
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 generation of young people say “no” to gangs and “yes” to positive lifestyles.
Nationwide there are an estimated 31,000 gangs, with a membership of over 850,000. In Peoria there are more than 20 identi ed gangs with more than 500 identi ed gang members.
ELITE is pro-actively working to decrease and eventually eliminate gang recruitment of our young people. We encourage other agencies and youth programs to call the ELITE of 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 educational 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.
