catastrophic disruption of life on our planet. A COP Of Firsts The 21st session
of the Conference of the Parties (COP21) is the largest international diplomatic conference ever organized by France. This
event, which is part of the cycle of major UN conferences on climate change, is unprecedented on a number of levels. The figures speak for themselves. 180,000m2,
2 plenary rooms, one of which was built from scratch, 32 negotiating rooms, 3 press conference rooms, 67 pavilions
and 200 stands. COP21 is a conference that beats all records. Never before had a COP hosted so many participants: over 25,000 accredited
persons had visited the site by the end of the first week. This was also the largest number of
Heads of State and Government ever hosted in the history of France: over 150 Heads of State and Government from
around the world (including Barack Obama from the US, Xi Jinping from China, Narendra Modi from India and Vladimir
Putin from Russia) were welcomed by the President of the French Republic, the United Nations Secretary-General and the President
of COP21 at the Le Bourget site. Throughout the day of 30 November, they demonstrated their mobilization and their political
commitment to making the Paris Conference a success. Background The S.T.E.P.U.P Foundation Of Greater Washington, D.C. Inc. was established in the early 1980's as a voluntary organization

as Parents. Through our programs and services, we seek to empower urban youth and families to set, work toward, and
achieve their personal and professional goals. Mobile teams mentor and monitor difficult to reach individuals and youthful
populations. We focus on providing alternative programs and services to reduce crime and illegal activities among urban youth
who are disproportionately incarcerated. We provide and tailor self-help education and training using comprehensive risk reduction strategies and self-help
workshops to positively intervene in the lives of troubled youth and families in crisis to prevent involvement in senseless
acts of violence. We encourage critical thinking through youth development practices and approaches, provide self-help workshops
(arts education, etiquette, GED preparation, financial literacy, job skill, life skills, problem-solving in schools and
lifeskills) tailored to engage at-risk, truant, disadvantaged youth, young adults and their families. We engage
youth and families to replace idle time with structured activities to guide young people towards positive outcomes.
Programs are tailored to cover topics of importance to influence social growth and development and encourage goal setting

to provide social programs that benefit low-income children, youth and families. The Random Acts of Kindness Campaign
is one response to reducing bullying, youth crime and victimization. Funds support our Youth Quest: 21st Century Training
Program to provide intervention and prevention opportunities designed in part, to counter the growing interest and participation
of urban youth in the infamous 'Knock-Out' Game (a violent, unprovoked assault on innocent victims (of all ages) which is
spreading across the nation) and provide mentoring and self-help workshops for youth who bully and those who are bullied.
We provide outreach and education programs geared towards children and youth in need of supervision by tailoring structured,
youth development centered activities (and related field trips) designed to build confidence and self-esteem. See the links below for news and videos about
the "Knock-Out' Game (warning these videos are graphic and disturbing) which increase during the summer months:

was selected by Fight For Children to provide outreach for The D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program which provided scholarships
to low-income children in Washington D.C. for tuition and other fees at participating private schools. The program was the
first Federally funded school voucher program in the United States. It was first approved in 2003 and allowed to expire in
2009. In 2004, President George
W. Bush signed the D.C. School Choice Incentive Act of 2003, creating the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program to provide
scholarships to students from low-income families to attend a private school of choice. The program targeted 2,000 children
from low-income families in Washington D.C. These children were given funding to help offset the cost of private schooling.
In 2008, the program funded attendance at 54 D.C. private schools for students from families with an average income of $22,736,
"or about 107 percent of the federal poverty level for a family of four." The program was reauthorized under the
SOAR Act in 2011. Donations The S.T.E.P.U.P. Foundation Of Greater Washington,
