The three main programs are grant making, technical assistance and staff development services to its member Community Science Workshops in six sites across California. Altogether CSW Network members serve over 100,000 youth visits and 1000 teacher/educator visits per year.The CSW Network grant making program provides funding to member Community ScienceWorkshop sites. CSW network funds programs that are free to low-income children and families.The CSW network grant making program funds traveling exhibits and supplies to educators who run free programs in the local workshops. The network also purchased computers and equipment for CSW site educators, compiled new activities to the statewide project database, developed a system-wide attendance tracking program, and executed a documentary project to capture alumni success stories over the past 20 years. These efforts contribute to the CSW Network and the local sites capacity to raise more funds to increase open Tinkering and Making service hours to children and families who can not afford to go to museums or fee for service science centers.Technical assistance to member Community Science Workshop includes financialmanagement training, executive director coaching, evaluation system training, program management and fundraising training across the state. CSW Network developed community awareness and marketing materials as well as represented the member sites in local, state, and national level meetings with stakeholders and funders. The Technical Assistance program is vital to enhancing the programs and operations of local workshops.The CSW Network designs staff development programs for educators throughout the state and supports training of staff members employed at member Community Science Workshop sites.Training topics include the how to of science conceptual understanding and learning;makerspace pedagogy and best practices to meet new state standards in math and science; key strategies to support English Language Learners; and special exhibit demonstrations for events such as Maker Faire, Family Science, and Science Festivals. In order to maximize the accessibility of these trainings, and therefore their positive impact on programs for youth, the CSW Network provided travel support, stipends for participating staff, and additional resources for use by each site. The CSW Network also makes it possible for educators and member site staff to attend events and conferences relevant to the field of informal science education, where educators gain tools to enhance their local programs. 188379 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 12 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 10 0 false false false false false false false false false false false true true true true false true true false false CA X JERRY D VALADEZ 5592884953 PO BOX 1307 SANGER CA 93657 DR JERRY VALADEZ President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PALOMA GARCIA-LOPEZ Inter.ED/Treas 8.00 0.00 X X 25041 0 0 MANUEL HERNANDEZ Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS MCCARTHY Trustee 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEAN PENNYCOOK Trustee 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOSE SANCHEZ Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NINA SIMON Trustee 0.10 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAN SUDRAN Trustee 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 LISA WHITE Trustee 0.10 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMILYN GREEN Former ED 20.00 0.00 X 22367 0 0 47408 0 false false false 0 229800 229800 PROGRAM FEES 5340 5340 5340 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 235142 5340 2 X 43125 43125 0 0 0 47408 23454 12353 11601 0 54516 30819 6179 17518 0 13484 6754 3217 3513 9896 5360 1567 2969 0 0 0 0 0 0 59752 59752 0 31803 1087 30667 49 0 0 3990 2032 799 1159 0 0 0 0 0 0 2596 1279 589 728 PROGRAM OPERATIONS 28048 14717 8302 5029 0 294618 188379 63673 42566 158794 145721 0 60000 0 6861 0 0 0 0 1246 2341 0 0 0 0 0 0 220040 154923 1152 6793 6793 1152 X 116447 136259 96800 17512 213247 153771 220040 154923 -59476 X true X false false false X 482704 108750 229800 821254 0 1200 1200 483904 108750 229800 822454 0 822454 2 2 4 0 0 822458 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true CITY OF FRESNO 15 E DIVISADERO STREET FRESNO CA 93712 11125 0 FULFILLMENT OF EXEMPT PURPOSE CITY OF GREENFIELD 599 EL CAMINO REAL GREENFIELD CA 93927 32000 0 FULFILLMENT OF EXEMPT PURPOSE 2 2 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The grantees are required to submit annual reports outlining the various expense categories and number of people served with measurable benchmarks.
