For Rob and Lucinda Boyd, the run up to Christmas this year has been particularly hectic.<\/p>\n

Their nonprofit The Streets Don\u2019t Love You Back (TSDLYB) is in the middle of its annual Christmas toy drive.\u00a0 The program is also in talks to take a big step forward in its effort to keep younth away from gangs, drugs and crime.<\/p>\n

The toy drive is in its eighth year. TSDLYB is accepting toys through Dec. 20.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first year we did it out here, I think we had eight kids; two or three different families,\u201d Lucinda Boyd said. \u201cWe went to each house with our Santa sack. That\u2019s how we did it the first couple of years. We couldn\u2019t do that anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

She estimates last year\u2019s drive served 100 kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why we got an enrollment form for this year, because we have so many families and we hadn\u2019t really kept up with the numbers. We\u2019re getting big, and I like to keep up with stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

They also want to be choosy and support those children and families \u201cwho really do need help.\u201d<\/p>\n

TSDLYB is partnering with Community of Hope Church and the Maricopa Post Office. The post office is the main drop-off point for the toy drive. A bin is designated Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cSharon [Kiszczak] is the postmaster, and she\u2019s the one made it happen,\u201d Rob Boyd said. \u201cWe\u2019d just like to send love to Sharon and her whole staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The toy drive is a mentoring program for TSDLYB, which is a mentoring program itself for pre-teens through adults. TSDLYB also works with Live Pure Kids and IDEA Sports\/Youth Organization in Phoenix.
\nFor the past year, it has been teaching a six-week intervention program at the Maricopa court facility and at a Boys & Girls Club and a church in Phoenix.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, we introduced the program to Mayor [Christian] Price,\u201d Rob Boyd said. \u201cTwo weeks later, he called a major meeting of Chief [Steve] Stahl, Judge [Lyle] Riggs and my wife and a couple of other people. From that point, they implemented it in the courthouse September 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n

Price said he is always drawn to programs that are trying to do something good in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot has sprung from it, and I know they want to do a lot more,\u201d the mayor said.<\/p>\n

So the mayor was on hand in October when the Boyds had a chance to introduce the program to the state\u2019s top prison official.<\/p>\n

\u201cSen. Steve Smith introduced us to Director [Charles] Ryan of Arizona Corrections, and we were at the state capitol with him, Mayor Price and Sen. Catherine Miranda,\u201d Rob Boyd said. \u201cNow we are in the process to talk about how we\u2019re going to implement The Streets Don\u2019t Love You Back lifeskills intervention program into the prison system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dec. 8, the Boyds have a meeting with the director of the re-entry education program from Arizona Department of Corrections. At that meeting, they will discuss ways to start TSDLYB within the prison system.<\/p>\n

The program is already in 150 federal and state prisons across the country, but not in its full form. Inmates complete the course on their own and send completed booklets back for the Boyds\u2019 signature of completion.<\/p>\n

In its ideal form as presented at the courthouse in Maricopa, there is an instructor and face-to-face discussions about the material. It is still difficult to get individuals to be involved in the free program, Lucinda Boyd said. Many of those who have graduated from the program continue to stay in contact with Rob to share ongoing challenges and get support.<\/p>\n

The main problems that crop up among Maricopa youth, Rob Boyd said, are rebellion, talking back to parents and sneaking out at night.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see a lot of young people that join our program come at us with drugs or things like that so far,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Besides giving a hand up to those in a criminal lifestyle or on the edge of it or simply acting out with anger issues, the Boyds seek opportunities to work with law enforcement to improve police training in a way that builds strong community trust.<\/p>\n

This autumn they\u2019ve also walked through police-training simulations at VirTra in Tempe. That visit also came at the behest of Smith as the state Legislature mulls funding more law enforcement training.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we could have all of our officers go through that \u2013 because some of them are so new and they\u2019re out at these scenes and they\u2019ve never had that experience \u2013 it\u2019s almost like real-life experience,\u201d Lucinda Boyd said.<\/p>\n

The softer side of TSDLYB\u2019s community efforts is the toy drive. Besides the post office, 10 Maricopa businesses and COH have agreed to be drop-off locations, as have three businesses in the Valley. Monetary donations to the Christmas toy drive may also be made online or through the mail.<\/p>\n
