Expanded Services now at Brighton Greens!

Exciting News!

Nevada County Department of Social Services is thrilled to announce expanded services at our Brighton Greens Resource Center! Alliance for Workforce Development (One Stop) collaborated with the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) and representatives are now on-site and available to serve community members with disabilities in person.
This collaboration is a big step forward in our efforts to better support individuals with disabilities in our community. By having DOR Representatives at Brighton Greens, barriers to access can be decreased, and a wider range of resources and support systems are available right here in our county.
This means increased support for independent living, vocational guidance, job placement assistance, and specialized training programs tailored to the unique needs of our community members are now accessible.

Nat Geo Kids – Extraordinary Women in History!

From Misty Copeland to Sacagawea, history is full of amazing women for children to look up to!

Among the notable figures often spotlighted during Women’s History Month are Sacagawea, a Native American woman who helped make Lewis and Clark’s expedition to map parts of the West in the early 19th century a success; Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, who fought for equality for women in the mid-19th century, more than 70 years before the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote in the United States in 1920; Harriet Tubman, a spy who led slaves to freedom during the Civil War; Amelia Earhart, one of the world’s first female pilots (she mysteriously disappeared over the Pacific Ocean in 1937); Madeleine Albright, who became the first female Secretary of State in 1996; and Misty Copeland, the first African-American woman to be named a principal dancer—the highest level—in the 75-year history of the American Ballet Theatre in 2015. To encourage your child to read & learn more about Women’s History Month, and all the amazing she-roes we honor, visit here.
