My son is a Junior in the Civitas Program.  I also have a nephew and three nieces who graduated from the program and are now in college, one is in graduate school.  I’m a strong proponent of fostering civic engagement and responsibilities in young people; in fact, I teach courses at Sacramento State University that require students to complete service learning in nonprofit organizations throughout Sacramento and Yolo Counties.  As a lecturer in Child Development, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with local programs and organizations and help develop a variety of projects for my students on addressing the needs in our community.  I hope to be able to extend my contributions by serving in the Civitas Advisory Board. 

            Thank you for your consideration.
