15. Community Impact A founding principle of ICTC is its support for healthy, drug-free, and violence-free lifestyles for Cleveland youth. ICTC presence has lead to a decrease in vandalism, crime, and drug and alcohol use during our eight week program. We received many letters of thanks from residents in the surrounding areas requesting to continue our program Our older participants serve as models to our younger participants, allowing them to develop a sense of responsibility and duty to their community. They serve as positive role models for these children and as influential adults that help them with decision making and problem solving in their daily lives. ICTC provides mentoring opportunities to students who had previously attended the program. ICTC hires former students after they graduate. ICTC strengthens the community by offering job opportunities which develop leadership skills for local residents.
