CRCS staff works with eligible nonprofits in the community to help court volunteers complete their service. CRCS staff also coordinates participation in the Hospital and Morgue (HAM) Program and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Victim Impact Panels to help build awareness and empathy for people with specific offenses. This ensures that court volunteers can maintain their employment, education and other positive influences while completing their community service. 183647 OPERATION TEDDY BEAR Operation Teddy Bear is the Volunteer Centers volunteer-powered literacy program that provides an educational boost through a kind gift more than 4,000 schoolbags filled with books, educational materials and wellness tools, along with a lesson in kindness, compassion, volunteering and identifying emotions to the most underserved first-graders in the South Bay, Harbor and Long Beach areas each year. The program also provides volunteers with an opportunity to help the children first-hand by preparing items and schoolbags, and then interacting with students in the classrooms. During school visits, volunteers read an original story about kindness, facilitating a lesson about helping others, and they use the experience of receiving the schoolbag and the teddy bear to help the students identify, process and work through their emotions. 168494 FOOD FOR KIDS Food For Kids is the Volunteer Centers volunteer and donation-driven food pantry that provides bags of non-perishable food and health-related inserts to low-income elementary school students at partner schools each week. Volunteers sort, pack and deliver bags of food filled with enough items to make two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners for a family of four to the schools every Friday. The schools identify families with the greatest need, and those students take the bags home to share over the weekend. 77979 450 886330 true true false false false false false false false true true true false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 20 19 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X TREASURER 3102125009 1230 CRAVENS AVENUE TORRANCE CA 90501 SARA MYERS Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X 96369 0 0 BETTY C LIEU Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRENDA MONTGOMERY WILLIAMS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN MORROW VICE CHAIR 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SANDY MUKAI-KIM Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEAN ADELSMAN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RENEE MOILANEN FUND DEV 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ROSEANNEY LIU Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELIANA SANCHEZ Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL ARMENDARIZ JR Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DIANNE BOZLER BOARD CHAIR 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVE KOVARY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEA ANN KING Programs 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NAHER ELRAMLY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BOB GOLD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CONNIE ROBINSON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MAUREEN RUBIN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHIRLEY STARKE-WALLACE Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAULA COX-MARSHALL Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 HEATHER BLACK GOYAN Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 96369 0 false false false 0 64806 16000 481108 200453 561914 COURT REFERRAL FEES 900099 386038 386038 ENGAGING HEARTS AND MINDS 900099 450 450 386488 164465 164465 0 0 0 1821 1341 480 480 480 39462 64806 39462 0 0 0 0 1113347 386968 164465 0 10000 10000 0 0 96369 89623 1927 4819 0 407165 377997 8450 20718 0 22014 20054 482 1478 40322 38454 -110 1978 0 0 0 0 0 0 105187 31587 18600 55000 0 0 0 0 37277 37187 30 60 0 0 0 0 0 21314 15986 2131 3197 19445 17057 1075 1313 IN KIND GOODS 190827 151832 5697 33298 PROGRAM MATERIALS 35166 35087 79 TELEPHONE 24165 21983 1091 1091 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 17995 892 17062 41 65286 38591 13474 13221 1092532 886330 69988 136214 312035 259611 150040 150040 0 0 0 0 0 19369 39156 2418 3931 1214121 642771 592664 571350 0 1898738 1642418 0 0 1400 1400 2976664 2667906 54839 64403 150000 150000 204839 214403 X 2320906 2052166 450919 401337 2771825 2453503 2976664 2667906 20815 -339137 X false true X true false X 259187 346135 285962 655777 361461 1908522 0 0 259187 346135 285962 655777 361461 1908522 130709 1777813 92673 39686 73957 125554 164465 496335 0 0 2404857 0.73930 0.75390 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1692613 10000 -143386 87577 1471650 1327352 75409 315702 25850 1692613 1347387 64965 85000 1327352 1247724 7168 128569 4000 32074 1347387 1171193 84730 -4199 4000 1247724 0.81000 0.19000 false false false 285715 285715 829200 544091 285109 99206 98680 526 571350 1642418 811344 -339137 37134 -302003 1113347 1113347 1129666 37134 37134 1092532 1092532 false CA HEART TO HEART GALA 103408 64203 39205 39205 103408 64203 39205 39205 39205 true 0 0 SCHOLARSHIPS 7 10000 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used Durfee Family ScholarshipProcedures & GuidelinesThe Durfee Family Scholarship provides financial assistance to deserving young people who, despite personal challenges, are striving to attend institutions of higher learning.

Recipients are selected based on their ability to overcome challenging circumstances while still finding time to make a positive contribution in the community. Applicants learn about the scholarship through their high schools, and awardees can use the scholarship toward the college of their choice. Funding for the program is generated through the interest from the Durfee Family Scholarship Fund. Most recently, five scholarships at $1,000 each were provided to resilient and deserving students. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH Evidence-based community prevention programs that help students connect with peers in an informal non-profit or youth program setting are not easily accessible locally. Teens asked for a safe, neutral space in which they could learn to better balance their lives, and learn to identify and express emotions in healthy ways. They loved the idea of a program that would teach them resiliency skills, and help them be kinder and gentler with both themselves and others.In response, the Volunteer Center has worked closely with families and mental health professionals to reimagine its popular teen program, now renamed Connect. Connect is designed to be an accessible program framework to bring helpful coping tools and proven techniques to teens in their own, non-medical environment. The program will help teens with:Strength and value identificationSelf-acceptanceGroup sharing and belongingEmotional intelligenceCoping skillsConnect also addresses the concern that students, parents and community leaders share around the excessive use of disconnection vices such as screen time and its impact on emotions, sleep and feelings of isolation. While designed ultimately to be a prevention and early intervention program, the Volunteer Center has hired a certified mental health professional (LPCC) to create specific lesson plans and presents six Connect calls, (five for teens and one for parent/caregivers) during the pilot.
