Message from the Executive Director |
Dear Colleagues,
“What we see as “bursts” is the culmination of hard, relentless, unseen movements, tiny growth one day at a time”. Vu Le, March 2022
Though our hearts are still heavy from continued violence and conflict as well as all that we’ve missed and all those we’ve lost during the pandemic, we yet rejoice for signs of spring abound and signs of healing are emerging.
I am so grateful for the inspiring ways you have found to connect and collaborate – sharing wisdom, resources, and new ideas. Together, we are making progress -- which we will celebrate in style this September -- during our 9th Annual Awards Celebration Breakfast!
Please read on for news and new avenues of support for you and your team as you continue to move your mission forward.

Paulette Lynch
Executive Director

Collaboration in Action! Two weeks of intensive organizing by COPA (Communities Organized for Relational Power in Action) led to the Board of Supervisors extending the VIDA program at current levels to the end of 2022 with a $1.59M extension of the VIDA community health worker (CHW) program in Monterey County. Teams of COPA leaders each met with their district supervisor, telling stories about the impact of VIDA and asking them to support extension. COPA hosted an online event attended by over 100 COPA leaders, as well as Dan Baldwin, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of Monterey County, Supervisor Luis Alejo, Supervisor Wendy Root Askew, and Kim Stemmler, Director of the Grape Growers and Vintners Association.

DESIGNING FOR EQUITY, COMMUNITY, AND THE OCEAN (DECO)
TEACHER INSTITUTE
Applications close Friday, April 8, 2022
|
|
DECO is a new year-long institute for teachers of grades PreK through 12. Created in partnership with California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB), this exciting new program will guide you in creating a STEAM project for your classroom, while centering on the environment and your community. Throughout the institute, you’ll roll up your sleeves and get making! You will experience the design process as you explore a variety of low and high-tech tools in our state-of-the-art Innovation Lab in the Bechtel Education Center. You’ll also build an understanding of Liberatory Design — a design framework that centers on equity – and learn how you can apply it to hands-on projects in your classroom. You’ll identify opportunities and challenges of integrating STEAM into your classroom, and exchange ideas about integrating NGSS, maker pedagogy, and future-ready skills. At the end of the institute, you will walk away with a maker project for your classroom!
Dates: June 27 through July 1, 2022;
Follow-up sessions: November 5, 2022; February 25, 2023; May 6, 2023
