Descriptions: The Acorn Mentoring Project is an action/reflection community service project run by CA House that connects UC Davis students with young people ages 5-15 in under-resourced neighborhoods of Sacramento for mentoring relationships through an after-school program on Tuesday afternoons. The Project involves weekly Tuesday mentoring sessions (leaving CA House at 3:10 p.m. and returning at 6:00 p.m.) and six Thursday reflection and planning seminars (at CA House from 3:10-4:30 p.m.). All student mentors must attend all Tuesday and Thursday meetings, but they may choose to participate in the Project purely as community service or for academic credit as well. The Project is considered a group independent study project through the UCD Human and Community Development Department, and academic credit is conferred on the basis of satisfactorily completing a writing component. While the Project is motivated by CA House’s spiritual and ethical commitment to improving human lives and society through community service and social justice work, the Project is non-sectarian and its content is not faith-centered. Typical Tuesday mentoring sessions involve: set-up, ice breakers, an opening circle meeting, a snack and conversation time, a values-based thematic craft, activity, or game, sports, time assisting the young people with homework, a closing circle, and cleanup. Typical Thursday seminars involve reflection on the recent mentoring visit(s), a presentation on a relevant topic or an issue related to mentoring, and planning time for the next mentoring session(s). In addition, the mentors plan one field trip or other event for the young people each quarter. CA House is an inclusive, progressive campus ministry organization located at 433 Russell Blvd. at the intersection of Russell and California Ave. Keywords: Counseling, Education, Mentor/Tutor, Youth

Descriptions: The California Educational Partnership Consortium sponsors the Educational Partnership Week, an invitation to California business and community leaders to bring their talents to bear on the challenges of educating tomorrow's work force. It is an inspiring opportunity to gain fresh insights into the problems facing public education and to step up to the point of change to help make our schools work. The Week focuses attention on the strength and impact of a wide range of business / education partnerships, recognizes successful adopt-a-school programs and other efforts, and encourages commitments from previously uninvolved business and community leaders to get involved in the success of our students. When a volunteer spends time in a principal's office or a classroom, he or she is helping our young people recognize that there is something real about what they are learning. In addition, the volunteer obtains a fresh perspective into the problems and achievements of our educational system. The involvement of business in education is based upon the philosophy that the schools are preparing a work force; businesses have an investment in the future of their communities. The best place to make an investment, for both the bottom line and the community, is to help prepare young people for the work force of tomorrow.

Descriptions: Founded in 1946, Freedom from Hunger develops innovative and sustainable solutions to help end chronic hunger in the developing world. Our self-help programs serve families on the margin of survival-providing them with the resources they need to break free from a legacy of grinding poverty and chronic hunger. In 1989, Freedom from Hunger created Credit with Education, a powerful combination of microcredit and educational services for women who live on $1/day or less. Women with no collateral, no credit history and limited entrepreneurial experience participate in Credit with Education in self-managed groups of 20 to 40. The groups bear joint responsibility for the loans they receive and provide moral support to their members. As women gather each week to repay their loans, they learn about practical and high-impact health and nutrition practice. Informal discussions on health and nutrition topics are facilitated in local languages by country nationals. Lessons include breastfeeding, immunization, hygiene and diarrhea management, HIV/AIDS prevention, child nutrition and pre-conception family planning. Women also learn how to improve their businesses to earn more money. Widely recognized for its success in cost-effectively integrating both credit and education, Freedom from Hunger has also demonstrated statistically significant impact on mothers' economic status and empowerment and on their children's health and nutrition.

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: "Solid As A Rock" youth group is part of Holy Rosary Catholic Church. Our youth group has a membership of 80 students, but actual attendance is in the 20-25 range. The students are 5th thru 12th graders. We are a non-profit organization and this year, for the first time, we did not receive a budget to work with, so mostly we have to rely on fundraisers. Our youth group is involved in service to the community in a variety of ways: we help the Lazarus Club with set-up for funerals, our dancers perform for schools and convalescent homes, we help with the Woodland Ecumenical Christmas Baskets; participate in ACS Relay for Life; the Christmas Parade; etc. Because I am the only adult working with the group, it is difficult to break into groups since an adult has to always be present. I am looking for interns to help in the following areas: music/drama/dance. We are interested in starting a contemporary worship band - I have the students, they have their instruments, but no director. Our dance group is a hip/hop, old school, salsa/merengue group. Would like someone who knows praise worship dance to provide assistance. Need creative, energetic, vibrant people to help. Preferably of the Catholic faith. For information, please contact Yolie McLaughlin in the youth ministry office at 662-4510 or my cell: (530)908-5045 Keywords: youth, religious, recreation

Descriptions: Horseplay is a year-round riding program, affiliated with the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, that provides structured riding sessions for disabled children and adults. The program offers three 45-minute Saturday morning sessions, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., two sessions on Tuesday evenings, 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., and one Wednesday evening session, 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Through riding, our participants relax, develop self-esteem and physical strength and coordination. We need volunteers to lead the horses and walk alongside the horse to encourage and stabilize the rider as needed. You do not need experience with special needs students or horses, just enthusiasm and the ability to follow instructions. You aren't required to commit to volunteering every Saturday, but it's helpful if you are available at least one Saturday a month. More information is available on-line at http://www.horseplayriding.org. Riding is the highlight of the week for many of our riders; join us and experience the joy of creating a positive experience for our riders while hanging out with horses and great people!

Descriptions: Adopt-A-School Project: Created in 1989, the "Adopt-A-School" Project is an outgrowth of physicians' desire to find innovative ways to improve the health of Sacramento County youth by preventing long-term health problems. The program is designed to take a proactive role in response to life-threatening or limiting issues of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, AIDS, teenage pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease. Believing that prevention is the best approach for addressing these community problems, the Medical Society Board chooses to focus on students in the school setting. The program's emphasis is on providing students with the information necessary to make responsible decisions that promote their health now and in the future. This program utilizes physicians, medical school students, and undergraduates to give health-oriented presentations in K-12 schools through-out Yolo, Sacramento, and nearby counties. The level of participation and frequency of visits to the school vary widely and are based on the school's needs and the volunteer's area of expertise. The volunteer may select a grade level and spend several periods with each classroom of students in that grade over the period of the program. There may also be a need for a guest speaker on a specific topic on a one-time basis. Last Update: 17 March 1999 Keywords: health, substance abuse, youth, women

Descriptions: Yolo County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a 11 year old non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for abused, neglected, and abandoned children in foster care throughout Yolo County. Volunteers/Interns are needed to serve as stable friends and mentors for these children while also advocating for the child in court. A CASA volunteer/intern is matched in a one-on-one relationship with a foster child and engages in fun activities as well as taking the time to really get to know the child. CASA volunteers/interns then advocate in the court system for what they believe to be in the child’s best interest. Typically, volunteers/interns spend a flexible 3-5 hours per week with their case child or researching the case, for a period of about 18 months. CASA volunteers/interns must be at least 21 years of age, provide their own transportation, and complete 30 hours of mandated training prior to working with a child. If you are interested in helping an abused, neglected, or abandoned child in foster care, we invite you to attend an upcoming Information Session to get all your questions answered and pick up an application! Internship hours are available through this program. For more information, please check out our website www.yolocasa.org.

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.
