Still Time to Sign Up for the Nevada County Parent/Guardian Advisory Council

Posted on by csnnc

Parent/Guardian Advisory Council

Dear Nevada County Community Partners,

We’re reaching out with an opportunity for parents or guardians in our community to contribute their voice and expertise to provide valuable feedback to local decision makers.

Through our Comprehensive Prevention Plan – developed via the Families First Prevention Services Act process – we’ve highlighted the need to have more direct input from parents and guardians.

Our desire is to build a council of parents and guardians who meet regularly to discuss topics that are of most importance to those who know and love the children and youth in our community. Meetings will be held, in English and Spanish, via zoom at times and dates that are most convenient for the participants.

All participants will be compensated for theirΒ time and energy. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in additional training or presentations related to child abuse prevention or topics related to those they’ve discussed (also compensated – $50/ meeting or training).

Our hope is that this group will be able to provide valuable feedback to decision makers, increase their own Advocacy skills, and support each other, with the help of the meeting facilitators.

The attached flyers below (in both English and Spanish) provides a little more detail and a QR code where participants can sign up and provide their meeting preferences. If unable to scan the QR Code, please click here to register. The kickoff meeting will be held in January 2024.

Please help us by sharing this flyer with parents or guardians who you feel would be a great fit for this opportunity. If you have any questions, please contact Alyssa Burke atΒ csnncorg@gmail.com

Thank you for your ongoing support of Nevada County’s Parent Leaders.

Comprehensive Prevention Planning Team

Cold Shelter Opportunities

Posted on by csnnc

As we begin the cold weather shelter season, I am sending out this appeal to try to find help for the shelter during the overnight hours, from midnight to 8 a.m. or a portion of that period. This year, Sierra Roots was able to offer increased wages for these shifts and had a successful recruitment drive. Although many volunteers and paid employees have been added, it continues to be difficult to staff the two positions mandated for each shelter opening that cover the late night and early morning hours.

The shifts can be divided in multiple ways depending on preference of the worker(s). For example, we can have a shift that works from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. and another that works from 2 am to 6 or 8 am. Or, if a person prefers to take the entire shift, from 12:01 a.m. to 8 a.m., that would be wonderful!
I’m reaching out to ask if you, or anyone you know, would like to be part of this important community service and are available to help during the night. We offer $25 per hour for the shelter monitor position, for hours worked past midnight ($20 per hour for hours worked up to midnight). A criminal background check is required to ensure the safety of all.
We want to ensure that the shelter can always open when the county’s cold weather criteria are met. We could sure use a few more night owls to make that happen!
You can contact us at info@sierra-roots.org. Many thanks for reading this.

Alice Johnson, Weather Shelter Volunteer Coordinator, Sierra Roots
