Thanks to Cindy Bradford, Program Manager

County Health & Social Services (SCHSS) was awarded a 2010 Second Chance Act Grant by the Department of Justice to establish WRAP

Thanks so much to Anna Eaton, Executive
Director of the Boys & Girls Club, for coming to our club and telling us how her organizations helps provide the 5 pillars of youth development:  1. Safety (both physical and emotional); 2. Relationship Building (feeling connected to adults and peers; 3. Youth Participation - providing a sense of belowning ownership and achievement; 4. Community Involvement - their Torch Club (for children 5 - 10 years old) and Keystone Club (children 13 and
over) decide how to get involved in the community; and finally 5. Skill Building - teaching teens job skills.  A great organization and a great cause.  Interested in getting involved with the Boys & Girls Club?  Sign up for their Bowl-a-thon on March 23rd or their golf tournament at Chardonnay Golf Club on April 26th.  For more details on each event, visit http://www.ci.vacaville.ca.us/index.aspx?page=29&recordid=352&returnURL=%2Findex.aspx%3Fpage%3D46
