Descriptions: The Goal is to Educate and Teach Reading, Exercise, Activity, and Diet to Youth GET READY is a mobile outreach program that provides nutrition education, promotes physical activity and encourages literacy among Yolo County communities with limited resources or access to health information. Through the mobile outreach program, parents of children ages 0-8 are motivated to encourage their families to read and lead a healthier lifestyle. Studies show that eating healthy and increasing daily physical activity has a significant impact on the ability to learn and change behavior patterns. Energy is increased, comprehension is enhanced and attitudes can be changed. The Get Ready program presents the opportunity to bring together school, home and community to promote a common goal of a healthier lifestyle. Get Ready utilizes a USDA approved curriculum entitled Harvest of the Month as its primary teaching model. Harvest of the Month emphasizes increasing access to fruits and vegetables, preference for selected produce items through taste-testing and cooking demonstrations, participation in daily physical activity and increasing understanding of why it is an important component to a healthy lifestyle, and knowledge of and familiarity with California grown fruits and vegetables. On a typical site visit, the GET READY educators combine the Harvest of the Month curriculum with literacy activities: ¨ Educators and children together read a short story about the month’s fruit or vegetable. ¨ Each child receives a book to keep and read at home with his or her parents. ¨ Children participate in nutrition-oriented activities or receive an activity to take home. ¨ Parents receive nutrition education and enjoy cooking demonstrations and taste testing opportunities. ¨ In partnership with the Yolo County Food Bank, parents receive a “Food-2-Learn” bag that includes a nutritious recipe and a few key ingredients to jump-start the shift toward healthier eating habits. The Get Ready program is offered throughout Yolo County, including sites in Woodland, Davis, Winters, Knights Landing and West Sacramento. For more information about GET READY, please contact the Yolo County Health Department at (530) 666-8645. This project is funded by the Yolo County Health Department Keywords: health, youth

Descriptions: The Yolo Crisis Nursery has been created to protect the youngest, most vulnerable children from abuse and neglect- and to help their parents or other caregivers during stressful times. This is a safe and healthy place where Yolo County parents may voluntarily place their children in times of turmoil - since instances of child abuse or neglect significantly increase when caregivers experience high levels of stress without resources, support or relief. The no cost services are for families with young children (5 years and under). The Nursery is a 24-hour care, child friendly home in Davis. While at the Nursery, children receive nutritious meals as well as medical and dental care. They engage in activities appropriate for their stage of development. The Yolo Crisis Nursery is a program that is dependent upon community participation. Thus, our volunteers are a vital part of the Crisis Nursery team. Volunteers allow for the enhancement of the program by lending his/her special skills and time to the children that are served at the Nursery. Volunteers may assist with the daily care of the children, sort donations, assist in fundraising and outreach, and/or perform general housekeeping duties. Direct care volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and shall meet all requirements set forth by FamiliesFirst and Community Care Licensing Regulations. In addition, volunteers must be fingerprinted, to obtain a Criminal Record Clearance and a Child Abuse Record Clearance. Direct care volunteers must also have a (recent -within 1 year) TB test.
