I decided to post this here because I'm way frustrated and you guys always help out.
I am working on a grant app, and I need an acronym ASAP. They usually come to me when I'm working on the application, but not this time.
The program is for an after school program that extends from K-12. I've read tons of research, and one of the main things I'm pushing in the text is that the hours between 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. are really dangerous for kids. On school days, juvenile crime spikes to three times the rate as prior to 3 and after 5, and, of course, the victims of juvenile crime are most frequently juveniles. So my program is going to be called either Project SAFE or Project SAFETY (depending on which produces the better acronym).
I've been brainstorming for a half an hour now, and haven't come up with anything good. Here's the best I got:
A Secure And Functional Environment Teaches Youth
Blech!
I am now thinking I want the 'S' to be 'Supervision,' because that's one of the most essential pieces to keeping kids safe and baby-free (teen pregnancy prevention is one of the key objectives).
So - hook me up with a great acronym, if you would. Or even just a usable verb that starts with "A" I don't want to use the word 'and' if I can avoid it.
Any help would be muchly appreciated!




that could very easily be misconstrued!
