Descriptions: The Yolo County Department of Alcohol Drug and Mental Health (ADMH) – Prevention Services is engaged in a community movement to empower the youth in Yolo County to reach their highest potential. We have adopted a research based model, known as youth development. ADMH Prevention Services encourages Yolo County communities to support prevention efforts by providing information, trainings, activities and programs which educate people and promotes community service. It also encourages building youth-adult partnerships which promote positive communities free of alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) and creating communities which value youth input and provides opportunities for young people to be active leaders and resources. ADMH Prevention Services facilitates collaboration among organizations and individuals who are concerned with alcohol, drug and mental health related issues. The staff at ADMH Prevention Services is dedicated to youth development, a process that engages young people in building the skills, attitudes, knowledge and experiences that prepare them for the present and the future. The youth programs in the ADMH Prevention Services include: FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE: Is a high school based club that is youth driven and youth led. It builds partnerships for positive and healthy youth development which engage youth as active leaders and resources in their community. CLUB LIVE: Is the middle school version of Friday Night Live. This is a youth development program for middle school age youth where they can experience fun and meaningful skill building activities as well as help implement them. It provides alcohol, tobacco and other drug (ATOD) education and ATOD free events. FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE (FNL) KIDS: Is the elementary school program designed for youth in 4th – 6th grades. It provides youth the opportunity to create, plan and implement their own activities. While providing them with the value of membership and belonging, FNL Kids also incorporates the teaching of such critical life skills as leadership, character development, decision-making and refusal skills. The young people are also given the opportunity to contribute to their communities through service and adult partnerships. FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE MENTORING: This is a peer to peer mentoring program where high school age youth are trained to mentor middle school age youth on a variety of life skills and ATOD topics. High school students are matched with middle school youth to help support and nurture positive role modeling. It provides opportunities for young people to be in ongoing mutually beneficial, caring relationships which strengthen a young person's resiliency to the challenges they face. Research has shown that mentoring relationships are linked to a long term positive youth development outcomes. YOLO COUNTY FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE (FNL) YOUTH COUNCIL: High school age youth from Yolo county help plan and implement youth led activities and conferences for youth. HAND TO HAND: Provides services to work with youth one-on-one; assist youth with transition from juvenile hall back into their community; provide Friday Night Live activities on life skills and ATOD topics at community schools and other positive resources. This program is funded through the Safe And Drug Free Schools and Communities grant. ABC DECOY OPERATIONS: An environmental prevention program, in partnership with Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC), to target and reduce retailers from selling alcohol to minors.

As the oldest campus ministry at UC Davis (we were founded in 1916), Cal Aggie Christian Association has a very long and proud heritage of supporting spirituality and promoting social justice. Some of our activities in the areas of service and justice include having been: a base for Caesar Chavez’s farm union work in the Central Valley, a center of Vietnam War protest, the home of the first sexual health clinic in Davis, and the home of the UC Davis LGBT Resource Center before it was recognized by the University. To us, leading a life of service and justice is at least as important as what people believe, and we seek to follow the ways of Jesus in our radical inclusivity and justice-making. We offer opportunities for spirituality, service and justice work, personal growth, fellowship, and intentional living. All students are welcome! Visit us on the web at www.cahouse.org.

Descriptions: Information from The Green Party's website: We have a distinctive political ideology that stands alongside other ideologies, such as socialism, capitalism, liberalism, or communitarians. Ours is historically placed, new and still being written, and the fastest growing, worldwide movement seen in the second half of the 20th Century. It is scientifically supportable, not just a romantic utopian vision, and is relevant to all classes, all ideologies, and all nations of the world. The Green Party calls for a complete restructuring of social, cultural, and political life, especially in the developed countries. It seeks to broaden the ideological debate presented by the dominant political parties, who frame their arguments in terms of a linear capitalist system, to include a holistic systems approach to recourse allocation, waste reduction, and democratic principles. The Green Party stands in direct challenge to those who say there is no alternative to our current economic system. We believe if there is to be a future, it will have to be Green.

Descriptions: The Yolo Environmental Resource Center was created in Fall 1991 to promote and coordinate efforts related to environmental protection, conservation, and research. It encourages environmental awareness on the UCD campus and in the community by serving as a clearinghouse of information for general public access. The center houses student environmental groups, as well as community organizations and is a meeting place for coordinating activities and planning events. It provides local, state, national, and global perspectives on environmental issues. Every Wednesday there is a Green Bag lunch at noon, featuring a speaker or presentation on environmental issues. Member benefits include being on the mailing list, reserving meeting room space, and discounted rates to events at the center. Membership fees are also considered a donation to support the center.
