6.3 – Scope of Program Opportunities
Standard: The content of agency programs shall be related directly to stated program objectives and shall provide for individual differences of interests, abilities (mental, social, physical), and backgrounds. Activities selected shall be suited to and contribute toward fulfillment of the basic physical, emotional, social, and intellectual requirements of individuals. The agency should take into consideration the total community offerings; some opportunities may be offered by other organizations, private, public, and non-profit.
Suggested Evidence of Compliance: Provide a matrix or listing of programs by fields, demonstrating clearly how the agency provides opportunities for proficiency levels, socioeconomic levels, racial and ethnic backgrounds, ages, and genders.
Narrative:
Unique programs are created to accommodate an audience from the over 40 municipalities within the County in keeping with the PRC vision of “Continuing the tradition of providing the best parks, recreation facilities, programs and services while providing stewardship of our parkland and protecting its natural resources for the people of Westchester County.”
Programs are offered for all proficiency and socioeconomic levels, racial and ethnic backgrounds, ages and genders, and promote mental and physical wellbeing. In an effort to not duplicate targeted programs and services offered by local municipalities, PRC provides programs that are larger in scope to serve a broader audience in greater numbers.
