IX. Public Audience
Jacoby Waters, Founder of Young Men of Distinction, distributed a flyer with
background information about the organization. Mr. Waters founded the organization in
2017, but it really got established this year. The group plans to starts September 1 la'.. It
is a six-week program, which deals with dressing for success, the art of giving back and
etiquette for middle and high school young men from grades 6 to12 grade. He has met
several different people and he put in long hours. The first flyer is about the group. The
second flyer detailed the six-week program. He created a curriculum to help young men
be better suited after graduating high school. The third flyer was the various
sponsorship levels. He wants to offer the program in Boynton and he wanted to partner
with the Board to see how the group can be housed in Boynton Beach. The program is
in Riviera Beach. S
Chair North asked if the Board was the first entity he has approached in Boynton Beach
and learned he had spoken to Mayor Grant. When he had spoken with him in April, he
was not a 501c 3. On May 10th, he was interviewed by Channel 25 about the group.

He incorporated the group in Florida and the 501 (c) is pending. The six- week program
shows the different partnerships he already established. His first car wash fundraising
event is June 1st. He created a partnership with friends of foster children and he has 15
young men in the program with the last twoof them from the Friends of Foster Children.
In 2020, he will work with a set amount of youth from Friends for Foster Children.
He had reached out to the Kiwanis Club and other entities, but at the time he was not
incorporated. Fundraising was the only major hurdle the program had to overcome.
Whatever funds had been raised were used to incorporate the organization. He self-
funded the program so far.
Lori Wilkinson inquired why the program was only for men. Mr. Waters replied they
need special attention. He wanted to have a men's etiquette seminar to teach them
how to shake a hand, .look someone in the eye, learn how to dress appropriately and
how to speak. There are other mentor groups, but this program is geared so that once
the participants finish, they will feel better about themselves.
Some of the participants are from Forest Hill High School. All of the middle school
participants found out about the program from social media. The parents reached out to
him when he publicized the group in March. The group was originally called Gentlemen
of Distinction, but it was rebranded to Young Men of Distinction. Ms. Colebrooks noted
there are programs around, but there are no forceful programs in Boynton Beach and
• the Board focuses on Boynton Beach. Mr. Waters would not get the information until
July and he will have several participants from Friends of Foster Children. The car wash
is at Autozone, Riviera Beach from 8 am. to 12 noon. It is the organizations first
sponsored event. The sponsor was an alkaline water company based in Washington
DC. They are donating water towards the car wash.
Chair North loves to support programs and youth in the city. The Board can provide him
with information and resources and maybe participate in some of those activities to get
the information and direct him. The Board would want a robust program to support the
program in Boynton Beach. She asked if Mr. Waters could measure the program goals
and if he had a strategic plan. She asked if he tapped into Children's Services Council
or their mentoring program. Those discussions could open up the door for resources to
the level they need.
Ms. Gassant commented a challenge for him was the 501 (c) 3. He is incorporated in
Florida, but the application was pending for about a week. Chair North recommended
he start the planning process. Mr. Waters also spoke with the Sac project regarding
fiscal sponsorship. He has done a lot of research. They advised him he will learned if
he is approved for sponsorship in two weeks. Ms. Gassant questioned if he needs to fill
out a donation request. Mr. Waters commented that could be a future goal, once he is
done in six weeks in Riviera Beach as he has a free meeting place for six weeks. He
would not mind having a group in Boynton Beach.. His goal is to expand the group.and
he has to be able to show the program is successful and is needed in the City.

Boynton Beach, Florida May 23, 2019
Lori Wilkinson commented when the program is in Boynton, the Board will be better
able to help. She recommended when he is established, he should speak with the
Greater Boynton Beach Foundation which fits the mission. She recommended he find a
location, recruit participants from the City and maybe in the next six weeks, come back
to the Board. Vice Chair Nevin agreed. She forwarded Mr. Waters' information to a
colleague in charge of Florida Reach which is a post-secondary entity that assists
students with their academic success and they have a specific person to work with. The
individual, Joe Murray, had a passion to stop generational poverty.
Ms. Gassant commented Mr. Water's program could be part of the United Way.
mentoring program pool that follows six effective elements of mentoring practices. He
should also look into MENTOR, which is the national mentor partnership. If he reaches
out to the United Way and Start attending meetings and training, they have mini grants.
Even if the Mr. Waters was still waiting for his documentation, the United Way will work
with him. Ms. Gassant gave him contact information. •
Chair North requested Mr.Waters keep the Board updated. •
X. New Business
A. Back to School Bash: August 3
Chair North announced the Board received information for the August 3'd. Back to
School Bash at St. John Missionary Baptist Church. She asked if the Board would
attend. She noted the Board had participated in prior years, but the members had
mixed emotions about doing so again. Lori Wilkinson explained the last two years:she
participated in the event, it did not do anything for the Board. Originally, the Board
attended to draw attention to the Board, but she did not think it was the right venue. The
people who attended had very young children and the Board programs did not apply.
The members did promote the Youth Volunteer Bank, but young children do not need
community service hoursand the public was more interested in freebies and back
packs. It did not fit in with what everyone else was doing. Chair North agreed it was not
the appropriate forum. Attendees were there to get information and supplies to support
school. The Board cannot compete with the other entities and it was not really for
information sharing where the Board members had time to speak with each parent for
five minutes. Vice Chair Nevin recalled for the pastthree years, they donated a gift card
and purchased pencils. Lori Wilkinson suggested if St. John needs a donation, the
Board could donate and the Board would be recognized for the donation. She opposed
setting up a table to hand out pencils. The purpose was to support the youth. Chair
North thought the members could volunteer at the event and supporting other vendors
that support youth and students. The Board had discussed collaborating with other
entities and in this way, the members could walk and talk. Vice Chair Nevin noted there
are no students on the Board. In a few weeks, if they changed the focus and made they
event less about giving pencils out and make it more about encouraging youth to

become civic minded, they could become part of the Board and they could take stock in
their community.
Motion
Vice Chair Nevin,moved to not have a table at the event this year. Lori Wilkinson
seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
Vice Chair Nevin had no problem supporting the event with a gift card as it assists
students. They have given gift cards for Publix, Walmart, Staples. Ms. Colebrooks
asked who would receive the gift card. The card was $50 last year and $25 the year
before.
Ms. Claude suggested making a financial donation in lieu of a gift card. If the
Recreation and parks Department wants to use gift cards as door prizes or awards, for
auditing.purposes, because it is city money, they require the recipient sign for what was
purchased and who received the card. if making a donation, make a check donation.
Lori Wilkinson liked the suggestion and thought the Board could talk to the organizer
and see what they need. The only requirement for the donation is the organizer give
the board credit or included in the program or announcements as a sponsor.
Lori Wilkinson agreed to reach out to the Pathways to Prosperity to see what they need
physically or monetarily and make a decision which one. This will be added to old
Business on the June agenda. Chair North will forward the contact information.
B. Funds Distribution
Ms. Claude noted $364 allocated to the Tennis Carnival and it did not appear it would
be held again. She asked where the Board wanted the money to go.
Motion
Vice Chair Nevin moved to shift the funds from the Tennis Carnival to the Borovy
Award. Ms. Gassant seconded the motion.
Lori Wilkinson thought it should be split between Community Contribution and the
Borovy Award. She thought the Boar needed to find a way to fund it better. The Board •
had more applicants this year than in a long time. There were nine applicants. In prior
years, if they had more money, they could have given more. The Board is approached
much more by the community, sometimes like a monthly thing. The money for the
Tennis Carnival was donated for the Carnival,, but if it is no longer available, the money
could be moved.
Vote _
The motion passed 5-1 (Ms. Colebrooks dissenting.)

A. "Pound for Our Town" fundraiser
Chair North thanked Lori Wilkinson and Vice Chair Nevin for all their help. Lori
Wilkinson advised they had 25 or 30 participants. If 25 people participated, 18 or 20 of
the participants had done this before. The instructor and her friend ran the class and
decorated a glow in the dark event. All had a fun time. There were great prize
donations. She thanked Vice Chair Nevin for a gift card donation. She wrote thank you
notes for all Who donated prizes and the two instructors. She thanked Peggy LeGuerre
who brought water and her help. Ms. Claude, Lori Wilkinson and Ms. LeGuerre were
there and the event went off well. The instructors were willing to hold another event and
they are discussing holding an October event. They want to do Pound and Pour. They
want to hold it in a brewery. The instructors also spoke to Due South about it.
The event raised $455, and they did not raise as much in the raffle as they thought they
would. Lori Wilkinson thought with more people and prizes people are interested in,
participants will buy more raffle tickets. The event was held at the Hester Center. Lori
Wilkinson thanked Todd Johnson, the supervisor at the Hester Center. They were at
capacity in the room they were in, so there is not a lot of room for a larger event. It did
not take any effort to raise the money. She thought they should hold the event again.
The instructors volunteered their time. The Board had voted to spend up to $100 for
supplies and the two instructors did not spend all of it. A friend of Lori Wilkinson makes
hand painted signs and she asked her to provide a prize for the event, which Ms.
Wilkinson forgot to bring to the event. Neither instructor was looking for a gift. Ms.
Gassant thoughtit would be appropriate to provide a small token of appreciation. Lori
Wilkinson offered to contact her friend to make a second sign to give to the instructors
or hold onto the sign as a prize for the next event. She agreed to send thank you
notes.
Mr. Voce asked about the age of the participants and learned they were between 35
and 50 years old. The instructors work at Park Vista High School and a lot of the kids
that go to their class at the YMCA are high schoolers. Mr. Voce thought holding an
event at Due South was a good idea. Mission BBQ donated a gift basket and sauces,
Smoothie King donated a basket and coupons. Vice Chair Nevin donated a gift card to
the Vitamin Shoppe, Lori Wilkinson donated SunFest tickets and a friend of hers
donated tickets to the Silverball Museum in Delray. She thought Smoothie King and
Mission BBQ will donate again. She noted Mission BBQ has a community outreach
person whose job is to give away foodstuffs to get their name out there and they are
very focused on veterans and first responders.
Lori Wilkinson agreed to see if they are interested in an August event. She loved how
they named the event Pound for our Town. Mayor Grant came by the event. It could be
a back to school pound event.

E. Youth Volunteer Bank
Ms. Claude explained generally in February, she sends a letter or email requesting
enrolled volunteers send in their hours, and then follow up. Last year there were a few
that turned in their hours. This year the letter did not go out. She asked with the decline
in participation over the years, if the Youth Volunteer Bank was a program they want to
continue. The Board could continue the program, but she did not know how to generate
enough interest to bring an impressive number of volunteers to the City Commission to
be recognized. There may be only two or three students. The Board could send a
certificate to students who turned in hours. Lori Wilkinson noted the Board has been
running the program for a long time and the School District was not counting volunteer
hours they same way they were when the program started. She thought it may be the
reason the program was struggling. Youth are required to turn in volunteer hours. If
turning hours into school to a guidance counsellor, the student may think why do it
again. Vice Chair Nevin thought if an individual volunteers with the expectation of
receiving something in return, it is not volunteering. It is working.
Vice Chair Nevin funding could be used in a different way to get something better and it
did not appear the structure of education would change soon. Chair North thought the
Board could be a resource for students to find volunteer activities. Ms. Claude
explained the program started before 1998. Back then, the Board would hold a find a
significant volunteer project once a year and involve the students to participate. There
are also more volunteer organizations. Lori Wilkinson explained she would be okay with
dissolving the program. She thought the members should keep in mind all the funds,
unless specifically earmarked, can be moved. Chair North agreed until the Board
knows how it will proceed, they should not make changes.
Motion
Lori Wilkinson moved to disband the Youth Volunteer Bank and give $81 to the Borovy
Account and $401 to Community Contribution bringing the Borovy Account to $1,000.
Vice Chair Nevin seconded the motion that unanimously passed.

COMMISSION MEETING DATE: 12/15/2015
REQUESTED ACTION BY COMMISSION:
Accept staff review of the Education and Youth Advisory Board and approve amendments to the Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances, Chapter 2,
Article VII.Education and Youth Advisory Board
EXPLANATION OF REQUEST:
The recommendation to examine current codes of advisory boards and update the boards to better conform to current needs originally came out of
the 2006 American Assembly: Committing to Our Future document. However, the GAP Analysis of that document identified that there was no
suggested or introduced mechanism for examining the current codes for Advisory Boards or for establishing clear codes and objectives. As
recruitment of Advisory Members still remained a challenge,at the request of the Commission,a Marketing Plan for Advisory Board recruitment was
created and implemented in 2009 by the Director of Public Affairs. With no noticeable increase in applications,Lori LaVerriere,then the Assistant City
Manager, requested at the April 20,2010 Commission meeting that staff be allowed to.move forward with an overall review of the advisory board
program,their purposes and effectiveness as part of an overall objective to increase volunteerism and citizen engagement. It was determined by staff
that the best approach was to review each advisory board one at a time which would allow for additional comments and feedback from individual
members attheir-regularly scheduled meetings.
The review of the Education and Youth Advisory Board is the fifth(5th)review completed by staff. Staff attended an Education and Youth Advisory
Board meeting to present to the board and explain the process. An Advisory Board&Committees Members Questionnaire was provided as a survey
to all board members with the request that they complete them and return to staff for analysis. The board requested that they be able to complete the
survey as a group and provide a single response. Staff agreed and a copy of the survey is attached. Upon staff review of the survey and 12 months
of meeting minutes, it is staffs recommendation that the advisory board remain as is and that the Code of Ordinances be amended to reflect the
actual duties and responsibilities currently being carried out by the board.
It is also the recommendation of staff that the Education and Youth Advisory participate in the City's Education Initiative as a primary stakeholder,
working closely with the staff Education Initiative Committee.
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES?
The Education and Youth Advisory Board is a very active and vibrant board that provides tremendous benefit to the City through year round activities,
programs,fundraisers and scholarships.
