A group of U.S. Naval Station press release photos, 35 black & white images, 8 x 10 in., all stamped on verso by the U.S. Naval Photographic Center, J.E. Pfeifer, photographer. Leo [Leveo] Sanchez, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, was responsible for assisting Youth Coordinators who were developing "comprehensive youth opportunity programs of employment, education, and recreation for [their] community." A manual produced by the President's Council on Youth Opportunity, chaired by Vice Pres. Spiro Agnew, and published in Washington, DC in March 1969 lists his contact information. The photos show his visit to the Naval Air Systems Command [Patuxent River, Maryland], where he handed out certificates to participants in the Youth Opportunity Campaign [YOC], observed some of the young men and women at work, greeted Naval officers, delivered a speech, etc. YOC positions were "reserved for youth from low-income families, and pay a standard rate of $1.60 per hour." According to the manual, published during the Nixon administration, Federal agencies were encouraged to hire "at least one poor youth for every 40 regular employees." The YOC, launched in 1966 as a summer jobs program, was part of Pres. Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty initiative and was adminstered by the Office of Economic Opportunity. Leveo Sanchez, a native of New Mexico, had previously served as Deputy Director of the Peace Corps, Latin American Region. In 1969, he founded a private international consulting firm specializing in social and economic development, "one of the largest minority-owned and operated consulting firms in the country." [see his brief biography on the New Mexico Highlands University website].
