The three main programs are technical assistance, grant-making, and staff training services to its member Community Science Workshop sites in six sites across California, altogether serving over 100,000 youth visits per year. Technical assistance to member Community Science Workshop sites was one of our biggest programs in 2015. CSW Network provided financial management 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. This year the CSW Network provided emergency support to Fresno CSW to help negotiate a new staffing structure and fiscal sponsorship. In Watsonville CSW, CSW Network staff managed the operations of the site during a leadership vacancy and director transition. The Technical Assistance program is vital to enhancing the programs and operations of local workshops.The CSW Network grant-making program provides funding to member Community Science Workshop 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 projects to the statewide project database, 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.The CSW Network designs and implements a year-round staff training program for educators employed at member Community Science Workshop sites. Training topics include science concepts and curricula; workplace safety and sexual harassment; pedagogy and best practices; and special exhibit orientations. In order to maximize the accessibility of these trainings, and therefore their positive impact on programs for youth, the CSW Network pays travel expenses, meals, and offers stipends for participating educators. The CSW Network also makes it possible for educators to attend events and conferences relevant to the field of informal science education, where educators gain tools to enhance their local programs. 281269 281269 DR JERRY VALADEZ President 1.00 0 PALOMA GARCIA-LOPEZ Treasurer 1.00 0 MANUEL HERNANDEZ Trustee 2.00 0 CHRIS MCCARTHY Secretary 0.33 0 JEAN PENNYCOOK Trustee 0.25 0 JOSE SANCHEZ Trustee 2.00 0 NINA SIMON Trustee 0.10 0 DAN SUDRAN Trustee 3.00 0 LISA WHITE Trustee 0.25 0 EMILYN GREEN Executive Dir. 30.00 0 X false false false false false false false false 0 0 false false CA SOL MCKINNEY PO BOX 31002 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94131 4154947585 false false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 482704 108750 591454 0 1200 1200 483904 108750 592654 0 592654 2 2 0 0 592656 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.1 | Donee's Name: CITY OF FRESNO | Donee's Address: 15 E.
