Opportunity Matters.
"I
would not be able to stand on my feet again without
the guidance and support of the San Mateo County Central
Labor Council.
No other agency gave us all the services we needed.
They gave us displaced workers food every month plus
the right information to get back on our feet. I now
have health care for myself and my daughter, and with
my new training, I have a new career!"
- Leonora Magellanes, who completed the PeninsulaWorks
C.N.A. training program and now has a new career as
a Certified Nurse Assistant

| Project Title: Belle Haven Elementary Full-Service School
Project |
Type: Issue Grant |
| County: San Mateo |
Grant Amount:
$30000 |
Start Date:
6/1/2005 |
End Date:
12/31/2006 |
| Grant Focus: Education\Professional development for early
care and education providers |

Project Description:
The Partnership
will play a managing partner role in a multi-year
effort called the Belle Haven Elementary Full-Service
School (BHEFS) project in Menlo Park, San Mateo. The BHEFS Project
is a multi-year effort to transform the elementary
school into a 'full-service' or 'community'
school that integrates the most important influences
in children''s lives- families, schools and
communities. A full-service school provides the highest
quality instruction, offers a wide range of
supports, services and after-school activities,
and fosters the participation of parents and
the community.
The first phase of the work will engage
key constituencies to develop a comprehensive
plan for change- one that clearly defines success
as well as the strategies and activities necessary
to achieve it.
The BHEFS project will benefit first-hand through two learning and development
opportunities.
First, they will travel to Portland,
Oregon to learn about the Schools Uniting Neighborhoods
(SUN) initiative.
SUN schools are nationally recognized
as exemplary community schools, lessons from
which will be applied to local efforts.
The second trip is to Chicago, Illinois
to attend the Coalition for Community School''s
National Conference.
The Partnership will work with the school principal and assistant principal
to address immediate training needs among K-1
teachers as they relate to the school''s core
curriculum.
This training will be augmented with
a set of more intensive professional development
strategies for teachers to be designed by the
Stanford School of Education and implemented
in school year 2005-06.
This grant will support Partnership staff to convene the local advisory
team, participate in conferences, work with
consultants in the planning phase, mobilize
political support, and attract public- and private-sector
resources.

End Date:

| Grant Focus: Self-Sufficiency\Increase opportunities
to enhance income |
| Project Description:
A Paid Family
Leave law was passed in 2002 providing wage
replacement to workers who take time off to
care for a sick family member or a new child.
This has enormous potential to support
low wage workers who may not have benefits or
other resources to take time off work.
Yet, recent research showed that only
15% of low wage workers knew of the new law.
Labor Project for Working Families has
developed a coalition of organizations to conduct
a multi-lingual outreach campaign to inform
workers. This grant will also support a coalition of
unions and child care advocates who advocate
for policies that will increase child care funding,
especially for low wage workers. |
