TRAINS AND SUPPORTS COURT-APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM BY PROVIDING A POWERFUL, INDEPENDENT VOICE FOR THE CHILD. THESE DEDICATED COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS SPEND TIME WITH A CHILD AND BECOME A TRUSTED FRIEND, MENTOR, AND CONSTANT ADULT PRESENCE. THEY WORK WITH THE FOSTER PARENTS, TEACHERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, COUNSELORS, AND OTHERS TO GET A COMPLETE PICTURE OF THE CHILD'S LIFE AND NEEDS. AND THEY PREPARE REGULAR REPORTS AND ATTEND HEARINGS IN DEPENDENCY COURT TO ADVISE THE JUDGE ON THE CHILD'S BEST INTERESTS WHEN KEY DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE.FOUNDED IN 1986, CHILD ADVOCATES OF SILICON VALLEY, INC. WORKS IN A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SANTA CLARA COUNTY JUVENILE DEPENDENCY COURT, A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED MODEL COURT. THE COURT IS CHANGING THE WAY THE CHILD DEPENDENCY SYSTEM HAS TRADITIONALLY WORKED, FOCUSING ON HEALING THE FAMILY, INSTEAD OF JUST TAKING THE CHILD AWAY. IN ADDITION TO COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES, WHO UNDERGO 30+ HOURS OF TRAINING AND SPEND THREE TO FOUR HOURS A WEEK WITH THE CHILD OR WORKING ON THE CASE, THE AGENCY ALSO RECRUITS EDUCATION ADVOCATES, WHO HELP ENSURE THE ACADEMIC SUCCESS OF FOSTER CHILDREN BY FOLLOWING A CHILD'S PROGRESS IN SCHOOL, IDENTIFYING AVAILABLE ACADEMIC AND ENRICHMENT RESOURCES, AND MAKING SURE THAT SCHOOL RECORDS ARE TRANSFERRED IN ENTIRETY WHEN THE CHILD CHANGES SCHOOLS. CHILD ADVOCATES OF SILICON VALLEY, INC. IS A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL CASA ASSOCIATION AND IS ONE OF THE LARGEST OF OVER 951 PROGRAMS NATIONWIDE.THE AGENCY'S VOLUNTEER ADVOCATES ARE USUALLY THE MOST CONSISTENT ADULT RELATIONSHIP IN THE LIVES OF THESE VULNERABLE CHILDREN. ADVOCATES MEET WEEKLY WITH THEIR CHILD(REN) AND ARE THEIR CHAMPION, GIVING VOICE TO THEIR ISSUES AND MAKING THEIR CONCERNS "REAL" TO THE COURTS. SANTA CLARA COUNTY'S FORMER DEPENDENCY COURT SUPERVISING JUDGE KATERINE LUCERO SAYS, "ADVOCATE VOLUNTEERS ARE INVALUABLE IN HELPING JUDGES MAKE BETTER DECISIONS FOR ABUSED CHILDREN. I KNOW THAT WITH AN ADVOCATE VOLUNTEER ON HIS OR HER SIDE, AN ABUSED CHILD HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF ENDING UP IN A SAFE, PERMANENT, LOVING HOME."DURING THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2016, THE AGENCY SUPPORTED 625 ADVOCATES IN THEIR WORK WITH 760 CHILDREN. 1724894 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 23 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 21 21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X X X THE ORGANIZATION 4085735606 509 VALLEY WAY BLDG 2 MILPITAS CA 95035 JAMES OTIENO CO-CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MALA JAIRAM CO-CHAIR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAN WINTER TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DENISE ROBINSON SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHELLE BHATIA BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 PENNY BLAKE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA BRENNAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LISA CLARK BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOE COUSINS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DEBBIE CROUSE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA DUGANNE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID ENEMARK BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 BECKY MANCHESTER AIDLBERG BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JANE OGLESBY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL O'LEARY BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MOE RUBENZAHL BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 HERTA SCHREINER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LORENA TORRES BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 HOWARD SLAYEN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 GREG T WARDER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 KATE R WATSON BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 KAREN SCUSSEL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 120783 0 0 120783 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 458274 247105 1451151 476092 2156530 35613 35613 587669 620028 -32359 -32359 -32359 179119 458274 179119 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 10964 10964 10964 2170748 -21395 0 35613 126200 63100 25240 37860 956756 848152 59824 48780 97107 81711 7627 7769 91630 77102 7197 7331 60392 18118 18118 24156 14000 11780 1100 1120 6707 6707 35591 29948 2796 2847 22585 19004 1774 1807 5411 5411 8334 8334 11688 9835 918 935 10555 8882 829 844 CONTRIBUTED SUPPLIES 278456 213132 65324 CONTRIBUTED SPACE 153815 129427 12082 12306 CHILDREN'S SERVICES 93249 93249 CONTRIBUTED SERVICES 43822 28116 15706 107436 79593 19525 8318 2123734 1724894 163737 235103 507725 270674 121119 121399 123796 126217 31668 23119 356877 312392 52330 44485 1589291 1873331 2425929 2459225 110561 109234 110561 109234 X 1803609 1779781 11759 70210 500000 500000 2315368 2349991 2425929 2459225 47014 -12391 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1359117 1350670 1768556 2294786 2156530 8929659 1359117 1350670 1768556 2294786 2156530 8929659 8929659 54797 58278 24940 37387 3254 178656 11222 15721 11961 10004 10964 59872 9168187 0.97400 0.96370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1589291 301867 -11120 6707 1873331 1578126 17779 6614 1589291 1424580 159608 6062 1578126 1328094 103869 7383 1424580 1360204 -19720 12390 1328094 0.73000 0.27000 0 0 166502 166502 0 73859 62516 11343 116516 83374 33142 44485 FIDELITY CONSERVATIVE INCOME BOND 402597 F SAND HILL GLOBAL ADVISORS INVESTMENT - FIDELITY 1470734 F 1873331 2158356 -12392 -12392 2170748 0 2170748 2123734 0 2123734 0 2123734 SCHEDULE D: PART XI - LINE 2A UNREALIZED GAIN ON INVESTMENTS.
