15. Community Service Objectives Narrative: Use this space to describe in more
detail accomplishments towards the original community service objectives reported in
question 13 and/or your additional community service objectives reported in question 14.
Please make sure you include the Operating Site ID Number in each narrative description
so we can be clear which accomplishment is matched to which site.
USDA-EI Centro (P06A): Ramon provided outreach on USDA-Rural
Development's Section 504 Loan and Grant program by advertising in local shopper
guides and conducting public meetings throughout Imperial County.
Imperial County EC (R06A): In addition to providing outreach for the county
rehabilitation program, and assisting lower income families access social services,
Adriana assisted in the development of a very successful teen court program. This
quarter AmeriCorps Member recruited 33 teen volunteers to participate in trials on
issues ranging from drug use on campus to vandalism.
City of Shafter CC (R06B): Jose organized a Shafter Link Resource Fair to inform
residents on local, state, and federal services. The fair was a great success with
approximately 78 residents attending. The total population of Shafter is only 8,400.
Additionally, the AmeriCoprs Member organized three free seminars involving the
Bakersfield Aids Foundation, Desert Counseling Clinic, and the Employment
Development Department.
I-5 Business Development Corridor CC (R06D): After a rather slow start, Carol
really went to town the last half of the program. She held 10 workshops in the last six
months which assisted 40 unemployed or underemployed people learn how to start or
enhance their home based businesses.
City of Watsonville EC (R06E): Manuel taught theater to at-risk youth through the
City of Watsonville's Parks and Recreation Department. During this last quarter,
Manuel assisted in the development of a community-wide mentorship program.
City of Hollister CC (R06F): Bryan provided outreach for the redevelopment
agency's rehabilitation program and organized local community organizations and
residents to rehabilitate a dilapidated structure into a teen/youth center.
16. Community Building Objectives Narrative: Briefly describe how projects have
brought together diverse groups of people, empowered communities to solve their own
problems, built-long term structures that will last beyond each AmeriCorps Member's
term of service, and generally improved the abilities of local citizens to help improve
their own lives.
Imperial County EC (R06A): Adriana's work with teen court empowered local
teenagers to become more involved in their community and take responsibility for the
illegal activities going on around them.
5
City of Shafter CC (R06B): The City of Shafter is a very isolated community.
Residents who may need, and even be eligible for, social, economic, and health
services have no direct access to those services. Often the residents don't even know
what services are available. Through the AmeriCoprs Members' work residents
became better educated on the services which are available and how to access them.
I-5 Business Development Corridor CC (R06D): The I-5 Business Development
Corridor consists of five small isolated communities in Western Fresno County. Prior
to the AmeriCoprs Program, residents which dreamed of starting their own businesses
were practically on their own. All the technical assistance was centered in the urban
center and was not willing to go out into the more isolated areas of the county. Carol
not only provided education to these people, she also got other federal, state, and local
economic development groups to come to the rural areas to provide assistance.
City of Watsonville EC (R06E): Manuel describes the youth he works with as
searching for self-discovery and personnel expression. He says that young people in
Watsonville need alternative social programming beyond traditional sports. Manuel
has worked hard to build a foundation of trust through shared activities, genuine
concern, and open communication with the youth.
City of Hollister CC (R06F): The youth in the Hollister community have been
provided a tangible means for bettering their quality of life. Currently, the community
has no youth center or other appropriate place for young people to gather. Gangs are
also a growing problem. When the youth center is completed not only will there be a
safe place for the youth, but it is a place of their own making.
17. AmeriCorps Member Development Objectives Narrative: Briefly describe how
the AmeriCorps Members themselves have benefited from serving in the program,
particularly in regard to expanding their own educational opportunity and increasing their
own ethic of personal responsibility. Describe specific skills learned by Members through
either their service or training. Describe any Members that earned a GED or otherwise
advanced their education. Describe any Members that left public assistance to join
AmeriCorps. Relate how AmeriCorps allowed Members to continue college or graduate
school. Describe how Members may have changed their ethic of work, citizenship, or
community volunteerism.
USDA-EI Centro (P06A): Ramon had an opportunity to gain practical knowledge in
lending practices. Building on his degree in Business Administration, Ramon also
worked toward gaining his real estate license. After his term of service Ramon will
take the California Real Estate Exam. Without his AmeriCorps experience and
educational stipend Ramon may not have gained the financial independence he seeks
for himself and family.
6
Imperial County EC (R06A): One of Adriana's primary personal goals coming into
her term of service was to become a better pubic speaker in Spanish. Through
extensive hours at the Healthy Start Center giving presentations and teen court
Adriana has greatly improved her translation and public speaking skills. In a county
where over 69-percent of the population speaks Spanish, improving your bilingual
skills is an important employment asset.
City of Shafter CC (R06B): Previously, most of Jose's work had been in academics
where there is often time to carefully and thoughtfully work everything through before
taking action. During his year of service, Jose learned that you don't always have that
luxury. After a slow start, Jose really started implementing his social, economic, and
health services outreach program. During the third quarter he was walking door-door-
to-door distributing information. This quarterer he focused on developing community
meetings with multiple community partners.
I-5 Business Development Corridor CC (R06D): Carol has an advanced degree in
education. Not surprisingly most of her work has been academic. Her year of
service allowed her to use her research and teaching abilities to directly make a
difference in people's lives.
City of Watsonville EC (R06E): Manuel's Americorps experience has provided him
with a taste of what it is like to really work in the area of teaching theater. He plans to
continue teaching at-risk youth, including volunteering at the Rampsey Park Youth
Center during this fall. He has also decided to continue with his education and is
enrolling in the University of California, Santa Cruz, Theater Arts Graduate Program
in play-writing.
City of Hollister CC (R06F): Bryan entered the AmeriCorps Program as a basically
confident individual. What his year of service brought him was an increased ability to
work with others who may not be as motivated as himself. Initially, he faced a
substantial amount of community opposition to his project due to past fights over
local government funding priorities. Bryan had to overcome their initial mistrust of
government before the project could really get underway.
SECTION V - SUCCESS STORIES:
18. Unique Successes or Great Stories : Briefly describe one or two unique and/or
exceptional success stories, a program highlight, or a great story from your state. Please
explain any instance in which AmeriCorps Members recruited non-AmeriCorps community
volunteers for projects. Please include all media coverage, including original newspaper
clips, videotapes of TV coverage, and cassette tapes of radio coverage; any letters of support
or thank you letters; "before and after" photographs, brochures, posters, and newsletters
created by the project; and other types of creative documentation.
7
USDA-EI Centro (P06A): After spending months doing outreach in lower income
neighborhoods Ramon was recognized by the Imperial County Board of Supervisors
for his dedicated service in helping rural households achieve a better standard of
living.
Imperial County EC (R06A): As part of the National Gleaning week, Adriana
worked with local church groups to collect can foods and clothing. The donated
items were attractively put into baskets and donated perfume, soaps, and cosmetics
were added as a treat to the young women who would be receiving the baskets. When
the baskets were delivered to the orphanage, the church volunteers and Adriana stayed
and showed the young women how to apply the make-up and read the special cards
which the church members had written to their new "friends."
City of Shafter CC (R06B): As part of the National Food Recovery Week, Jose
worked with "Teen Challenge", a residential program for young males recovering
from substance abuse, on a canned food drive. Approximately 250 items of canned
and packaged food was collected. This was a real win/win project. The youth at the
rehabilitation center felt good about themselves for helping the community and the
needy families in the county were shown that they were not forgotten.
City of Watsonville EC (R06E): Watsonville has experienced an extremely high
incidence of violence this past summer. One evening after working at the Rampsey
Park Youth Center, Manuel and a few of the kids were walking to the bus stop. Two
gang members yelled out a gang affiliation and brandished a knife threatening the four
youth with Manuel. The gang members believed that the youth belonged to a rival
gang because they were wearing blue. The incident which was widely discussed the
next day at the Youth Center became a focal point for the youth to talk about what
they really wanted in their lives and to reflect on the consequences of violence in their
community. The youth initially involved in the incident later expressed their
commitment to pursue education and employment as a means to remove themselves
from these types of situations.
City of Hollister CC (R06F): Five of the youth in the San Benito Youth Commission
became very involved in rehabilitating the structure that the teen/youth center will
occupy. Each week these youth committed long hot hours assisting in the demolition
and cleaning-up of the property. As time passed, these young people gained self
confidence. So much so, that when the local television station did a story on the
project two of the youth were asked to be interviewed during the fifteen-minute
segment.

SECTION VI - CHALLENGES
19. Overall Difficulties Faced by the Program: Use this section to report on any problems
your Members have encountered in the program this period. These should be significant
issues which were related to achieving objectives, significant delays in implementation,
administrative problems, or any other expectations, events or incidents that have caused the
Members concern. State the problem concisely and how the issue has, or has not been
resolved. Be sure to outline the steps taken and identify any resources needed to assist in

and the local school district.
City of Shafter: Collected 250 items of canned and packaged foods. Jose
worked with "Teen Challenge", a residential program for young males recovering
from substance abuse, on the food drive. The youth at the rehabilitation center
felt good about themselves for helping the community and needy families
received assistance.

shows five members with "A" "A" status and yet you only have four active members, this means you have not submitted an end of term of service form for the member

18. Unique Success Stories:
Adriana Iruegas (R06A): Adriana spends one-half of her week at the Calexico Healthy Start Center.
Recently an elderly woman came into the Center needing help with a legal problem with her son. Because
she did not speak English she could not understand the letter which had been sent by a judge regarding
her son's immigration status. Her son was in trouble, but she could do nothing. Even through translation
and legal assistance are not Adriana responsibility, she took the time to help the woman by translating the
letter. The elderly woman later came back and thanked Adriana for helping her voice her opinion
through participation in the American legal system.
Manual Montez (R06E): Manual's theater arts program at the Rampsey Park Youth Center has been
very well received by the Watsonville community. Recently, he was invited to expand his mentoring
activities to include weekly theatrical workshops at the Watsonville New School. The New School is an
alternative high school for at-risk youth. There director of the New School has also seen the value that a
theater program can bring to at-risk youth. Due to Manual's knowledge in Chicano History, the Director
has also asked Manual to teach a one-hour social studies class. Manuel says that this has been an
invaluable experience for him because it provides him with an opportunity to share his background with
others. He says that he believes that the students have been empowered to continue with their education
and artistic development. Several students have told Manuel that the theatrical workshop is "the best
thing that we've ever had at the New School". The young people in Wastonville, Manuel says, are hungry
for someone to approach them honestly and with respect.
Also, please see attached news clippings, flyers, and other media materials.
19. Difficulties Faced by the Program:
As the Second Quarterly Report marks the half-way point for these projects all but Manuel have expressed
concern that their year is almost over. Part of their frustration comes from the fact that our current
method of evaluating the Objectives is exclusively end result oriented. For some types of projects this can
leave Members without any tangible measurement of progress.
Below are examples of some of the set-backs and road blocks Members have experienced and how those
projects are progressing.
El Centro, Imperial, & Hollister (P06A, R06A, R06F): Several sites have as an objective the
rehabilitation of housing. Although all the sites have numerous applications all the applications are
still being processed and/or the rehabilitation jobs are being estimated. In the mean time, the
AmeriCorps Members are continuing their outreach to low-income families and the elderly.
I-5 Business Corridor (R06D): The I-5 Business Corridor couldn't find an AmeriCorps Member
until February. Now the AmeriCorps Member is in place, Carol Scroggins works closely with the
communities making up the I-5 Business Corridor, including helping to organize a region-wide
School to Work Career Day for local 10th and 11th graders.
Second Quarterly Report - California RECD
Page Two
City of Hollister (R06F): The financing for the Hollister Youth Center has come apart several times
and needed to be put back together. Although the financing is in place Bryan Briggs is having to go
back to community groups to reestablish the shared vision for the project.
Shafter Link (R06B): Every time a service provider joined the Shafter Link Project the scope of
initial assessment of public needs and wants expanded causing delays in coordinating the community
volunteers to actually do the assessment. It seemed that many government entities wanted to
participate in the "distant-learning and servicing project". However, the key to the program is to
tailor the services to the community. As this second quarter closes, Jose Blanco has finalized the first
phase of the assessment and identified the volunteers.
Given the above, all the AmeriCorps Members seem to be settling down and taking these problems in
stride. In order to assist the AmeriCorps Members focus on their objectives in the last six months of
their projects the AmeriCorps State Coordinator has either completed or is in the process of:
Scheduling Monthly Teleconferences.
Asking each site supervisor to sit down with the AmeriCorps Member and go over the Member's
Annual Work Plan and complete the Semi-Annual Performance Appraisal.
Interviewing each of the site supervisors, both before and after their meeting with the AmeriCorps
Member to hear their evaluation of the AmeriCorps Member's work and progress toward meeting
their goals.
Meeting one-on-one with each AmeriCorps Members to hear what they think about the program and
to review their Annual Work Plan.
20. National Identity Activities (optional):
California RECD AmeriCorps participated in two major Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday activities:
Peace Vigil in the City of Watsonville: The AmeriCorps Members from the Watsonville Cluster
Group (Manuel and Bryan) worked together to organize a candle light Peace Vigil honoring Martin
Luther King's Birthday. Young people at the Rampsey Park Youth Center were asked to write down
stories, poetry, monologues along the theme of nonviolence and peace. Sarah, a shy 15-year old
decided to write a monologue based on an experience she had when she was 12-years old. Not only
was Sarah filmed on video reciting her monologue, but she was also interviewed for the 11:00 p.m.
news That night almost 50,000 people saw Sarah on television. This was the first time she had ever
"performed" on-stage. She hopes to continue in her participation in the Theater Arts Program
continuing to write, direct, and act on-stage.
Children's Day in Calexico: The AmeriCorps Members from the El Centro Cluster worked with
state sponsored AmeriCorps Members to host a Children's Day Picnic honoring Martin Luther King's
Birthday. The AmeriCorps Members wrote and performed a puppet show illustrating the values and
vision of Martin Luther King. The 120 grade school students and their families enjoyed the show,
shared their own thoughts about nonviolence and commitment to their community, played games, and
had a picnic lunch. Local businesses and service clubs donated the food and supplies.

21. Organizational Changes:
Kings County Community Action Agency: It is clear now that the Kings Community Action
Agency will be unable to retain AmeriCorps Members in 1996. They have however, asked that they
retain the site for 1997.
I-5 Business Corridor: Carol Scroggins is a new AmeriCorps Member this quarter. She began work
as a part-time member the week of February 5th, 1996.

2. Objective: Job Development and Training Program
What work will be done? What service will be provided?
The Americorps member will perform an assessment of what type of job training
is most needed by local employers. The member will then develop, coordinate
and implement job training workshops that focus on the needed training. The
workshops would draw on existing resources and services provided by local
entities such as JTPA/CareerWorks, the Enterprise Community Youth Job
Training Program, the Regional Occupation Program, and the Adult school. The
Americorps member would serve as a collaborator referring individuals to
existing job training services. Through this referral process, the member would
help local job service providers to be more responsive to the community's needs.
What is the hoped for result of the work/activities described above?
Improving the Environment: The Job Development and Training Program will
improve neighborhood and community environments by providing Watsonville's
youth and other unemployed persons with the job skills required to find placement
in positions that pay more than the minimum wage. It is also to the City's
advantage to develop a skilled workforce that will attract new industry to come to
Watsonville.
Meeting the Human Needs: Human needs will be met by making counseling
more accessible to those who need help in completing their high school education
and/or obtaining their GED, finding work and dealing with substance abuse.
Individuals will build self-esteem and will become aware of the counseling,
training and placement resources available. Specifically, the program will provide
services to the Spanish speaking population that currently are not available.
How will you measure performance of the members in providing service? How
will you measure success?
The Members performance in meeting the Job Development and Training
Objective will be measured by the collection of data including:
*
the number of workshops provided
*
the number of individuals attending workshops
*
the number of case referrals to training/placement services
*
the number of individuals placed in permanent employment
*
the number of youth placed in permanent employment
Data collection will occur at the beginning, middle and end of the 1700 hour
program.
By what standard will you gauge success?
The Job Development and Training Objective will be evaluated on the following
criteria:
*
Twenty-four job development and training workshops will be offered
*
Twenty individuals will attend each workshop
*
Two hundred individuals will be referred to training/placement services
*
Fifty individuals will be placed in permanent employment
*
Of the fifty individuals, twenty will be youth placed in permanent
employment
How many individuals will receive the benefit of the work your member
performs?
Direct Recipients: Two hundred individuals will receive job training, counseling
and placement services. Fifty individuals will be placed in permanent
employment.
Indirect Recipients: It is expected that 760 individuals and their families in the
community will indirectly benefit from the program. According to 1990 census
data, the unemployment rate is over twenty percent. The average household size
in the targeted area is 3.8.

arts program to Watsonville
By SCOTT DAVID BRENNAN
CORRESPONDENT
Manuel Montez, a member of the
federal Agricultural Department's
RAMSAY PARK
AmeriCorps, will head a new theatre
arts program for Watsonville's high
school youth at Ramsay Park.
Workshops on improvisation, act-
ing, directing and writing - for stu-
dents 13 to 18 years old - are being
started to "encourage the growth and
development of artistic talent among
the high-risk youth groups of the com-
munity."
"Empowerment" of the children is
his goal. "I tell them 'Your ideas are
important... you have an important
voice,'' he said. "The kids will learn
to communicate their ideas concep-
tually, visually and ultimately in a dra-
matic form," explained Montez, who
has an award-winning background
with Cabrillo College's Chicano The-
atre Works.
"The best part about it is the kids
will write, act and direct their own
pieces," which they plan to perform
at the Henry Mello Center, among
other places," said Gena Castro, Rec-
reation Coordinator of the Youth Cen-
ter.
Montez, who is usually an active
participant, will now "simply give
these children the tools to mount
their own productions, creating and
exploring for themselves," she said.
From these classes, which Montez
hopes will turn the Youth Center into
a "Cultural Arts Center," the program
will culminate next May in a show-
case of "professional theatrical per-
Scott David
formances" scripted by the students.

Attachment A - Third Quarterly Report
18. Unique Success Stories:
Manuel Montes (R06E) - Expanding At-Risk Theater Program: Manuel's theater program
has a growing following. During this quarter, Manual added a third location for theater classes
for at-risk youth -- the Watsonville Community School. Together with the students from the
Pajaro Unified School District's Alternative School and the Watsonville Parks and Recreation
Department, Manuel is assisting these young people in writing, directing and staging an August
production entitled SUENOS ANDANTES. The English translation is something like "walking
dreams" or "walking your dreams."
Carol Scroggins (R06D) - Career Fair: In April, the I-5 Business Corridor sponsored a Career
Day for 450 10th and 11th grade children in neighboring school districts. Twenty-five employers
offered students a chance to experience at least one small activity associated with the company.
Students had the opportunity to move heavy equipment, operate computers, "consult" with
correctional and police officers, and work with fire fighters. The Career Day was such a success
that the schedule for the next five years has been agreed upon by the participating high schools.
Jose Blanco (R06B) - Caring for Farmworker Children: In June, Jose began working with
the Migrant Child Development Center in Shafter to provide information on free child care to
parents with children between the ages of 3 to 5 years old. Over 20 parents attended the first
meeting to hear about the free child care facilities and other services available through Shafter
Link. Summer is an essential work time for migrant laborers requiring all available family
members to be in the fields from sun-up to sundown. Traditional avenues for providing child
care are too expensive and often laborers are forced to leave small children under the supervision
of only slightly older children.
Also, please see attached news clippings, flyers, and other media materials.
19. Difficulties Faced by the Program:
Manuel Montes (RO6E) - Reflections of Serving At-Rick Youth: In his quarterly report,
Manuel writes, "Due to the fact that I am working with at-risk youth at times it can be fairly
frustrating and discouraging. The young people can take a psychological and emotional toil on
your spirit. This experience has taught me a certain level of humility and patience. I have come
to appreciate teachers and counselors which work with at-risk communities for their dedication
and commitment. I am also quite sure that I have grown in terms of mental and emotional
fortitude which I will carry with me in my future."
Jose Blanco (R06B) - Taking It To The Streets: Jose has had great difficulty in moving the
Shafter Link Project Forward. He has advertised for volunteers through local newspapers, flyers
on bulletin boards, and speaking at community meetings. The City has been reluctant to provide
much publicity to the project until it feels "everything is in place" with all the state and federal
agencies. Jose has felt frustrated and blocked. This past month, Jose decided to take to the
streets and start walking door to door talking about Shafter Link and the other public services that
are available to the community. He has specifically targeted low income neighborhoods where a
substantial number of farmworkers live. As he is bilingual, he easily communicates with
individuals which might otherwise refuse services and/or not understand what services are
actually available.
Last quarter, California reported that several of the AmeriCorps sites were experiencing
difficulties and that the following actions were being undertaken to mitigate these problems:
Third Quarter Report
Page 2
Increased Group Communication: Scheduling Monthly Teleconferences.
Site Evaluations: Asking each site supervisors sit down with the AmeriCorps Member and go
over the Member's Annual Work Plan and complete the Semi-Annual Performance Appraisal.
Increased Communication with Site Supervisors: Interviewing each of the Site Supervisors
both before and after their meeting with the AmeriCorps Member to hear what their evaluation
of the AmeriCorps Member's work and progress toward meeting their goals.
Individual Strategy Sessions: Meeting one-on-one with each AmeriCorps Members to hear
what they think about the program and to review their Annual Work Plan.
I am pleased to report that these actions helped get the AmeriCorps Program back on track.
20. National Identify Activities (optional):
Tree Planting Ceremonies: In honor of the Oklahoma Bombing, a tree planting ceremonies
were undertaken at all Americorps sites in California.
Manuel Montes (R06E) - Earth Day: Earth Day Children's Festival was established to
celebrate the Young Child and Earth Day. The celebration included live entertainment,
children's games, and ecological arts and crafts. Manuel led the audience in a moment of silence
for the lives that were lost during the Oklahoma bombing in 1995. Later seedlings were planted
in the community park commemorating the disaster. About 3,000 people attended the event.
Bryan Briggs (R06F) - Spring Cleaning Week: Bryan organized a Spring Cleaning Week
which distributed 256 gallons of paint to 16 households.
Jose Blanco (R06B) - United AmeriCoprs Clean-Up Day: Jose joined AmeriCorps Members
from throughout the southern Central Valley to help clean-up the Town of Delano.
Congressman Cal Dooley also helped pick up trash along Main Street. By the end of the day
two large trash bins were almost filled up.
Carol Scroggins (R06D) - Commemorative Book Drive: In commemoration of the Oklahoma
Bombing, Carol organized a book-drive for the Boys and Girls Club of Firebaugh. Her goal was
to collect 169 books, one for each of the children who died in the bombing -- the total collection
was over 270 books and puzzles. This collection of books and puzzles more than doubled the
items available for the kids at the Center to read and play with.
21. Organizational Changes:
Bryan Briggs (R06F) - Reorganization: Currently, Bryan is located within the Redevelopment
Agency for the City of Hollister. Begging in July, the redevelopment agency is being
reorganized. Bryan will be relocated to the Planning Department. Bryan believes that this will
be a positive change and is looking forward to the move.

22. Organizational Improvements (optional):
***
23. Primary Training and Technical Assistance (optional):
Statewide Meeting: On June 10th and 11 the AmeriCorps Members participated in a statewide
meeting which included being introduced on the Floor of the California State Senate, workshops
on resumes and job skills, quarterly report writing, and sharing impressions on what the last nine
months in the AmeriCoprs Program has meant to them. The agenda was developed by the
AmeriCorps Members and much of the actual presentations were done by the Members as well.

Not Applicable
16. Community Building Objectives Narrative (optional): Briefly describe how projects have brought
together diverse groups of people, empowered communities to solve their own problems, built-long term
structures that will last beyond each AmeriCorps Member's term of service, and generally improved the
abilities of local citizens to help improve their own lives.
Not Applicable
17. AmeriCorps Member Development Objectives Narrative (optional): Briefly describe how the
AmeriCorps Members themselves have benefited from serving in the program, particularly in regard to
expanding their own educational opportunity and increasing their own ethic of personal responsibility.
Describe specific skills learned by Members through either their service or training. Describe any
Members that earned a GED or otherwise advanced their education. Describe any Members that left public
assistance to join AmeriCorps. Relate how AmeriCorps allowed Members to continue college or graduate
school. Describe how Members may have changed their ethic of work, citizenship, or community
volunteerism.
See Attachment A
Attachment A - First Quarterly Report
17. AmeriCorps Members Development Objectives Narrative (option):
RO6F - Bryan Briggs (Hollister): Ideally, AmeriCorps Members are in the front lines of community
development. For AmeriCorps Member Bryan Briggs this has meant not only gathering volunteers to help
renovate a dilapidated, vacant, historic structure for a much needed youth center, but he's also had to learn
how to handle himself before the Hollister City Council. Even after carefully researching and preparing
appropriate documents, the City Counsel rejected the teen center proposal and asked that it be re-worked
and presented again. The following week, the project was again rejected due to opposition by a local
community group. On Bryan's third try, the City Council approved the renovation project. During the
process Bryan learned how to work with and respond to the concerns of elected officials and influential
community leaders so that mutual goals can be met.
18. Unique Success Stories:
R06E - Manuel Montez (Watsonville): One component of the objective for the Watsonville site is to
provide mentoring and recreational activities to high risk youth who are involved in, or who would become
involved in, gangs. During the Christmas Holidays, Manuel organized a holiday party for 100 at-risk
youth and their families in the Ramsay Park Youth Center (Center) area. Thirty youth from the Rampsay
Park Youth Center (Center) helped plan, set-up, perform, and clean-up. Local businesses also participated
in the event by donating punch, cookies, cakes, candy, and a piñata. For many of these youth the Center
acts as "neutral territory" in a community where police have identified no less than four major gangs and
nine subsets.
R06E - Manuel Montez (Watsonville): Enclosed are copies of some of the fliers being used by the
Watsonville AmeriCorps Members to advertise the Theater Arts Program he coordinates for at-risk youth.
These fliers are used in meetings held in local junior high and high schools and community meetings.
19. Difficulties Faced by the Program:
At several sites, significant delays are encountered as members wait to get a desk, phone, and access to a
computer. Perhaps the initial application should clearly indicate that these things are minimally necessary
for a productive work environment. Although the community is very supportive of the AmeriCorps
Member, one still has no phone at her desk.
20. National Identify Activities (optional):
R06A - Adriana Ireugas (Imperial County): During the Christmas holidays, Adriana worked with a
variety of local agencies, including the County of Imperial, the City of El Centro, and the Imperial County
Board of Education to collect 10 bags of used toys and clothing; and $200 dollars worth of new cloths,
blankets, and toys for poor families in Imperial County. The newly purchased gifts were wrapped and
delivered on Christmas day. At one home, the mother burst into tears when the Adriana surprised the
family with the gifts. "I was very happy that as an AmeriCorps Member I could make a difference,"
Adriana said.
RO6F - Bryan Briggs (Hollister): During the Christmas holidays, Bryan volunteered along with 13 other
volunteers from government agencies to sort and load 175 boxes of toys for the local "Toys for Tots"
program.
21. Organizational Changes:
Two sites in the Central San Joaquin Valley, the City of Firebaugh and the Kings Community Action
Agency, were unable to retain AmeriCorps Members they had selected. Although the proposed Members
initially agreed to participate in the program they later declined prior to actually starting their term.
The City of Firebaugh has selected a new AmeriCorps Member, Carol Scroggins, and she began work as a
part-time member the week of February 5th, 1996. Kings Community Action Agency is still recruiting for
a part-time member.
