| Stanislaus County Volunteer Mentor Program The Stanislaus County Volunteer Mentor Program has been making a difference since 1999 and is ready to get back in action, and we encourage your participation. We are introducing an exciting initiative that will not only benefit our retirees but also strengthen our connection to the community. Starting this schoolyear 2023-2024, we are re-launching the County Volunteer Mentor Program, in partnership with Sierra Vista Child & Family Services. WHO? –Volunteer mentors are matched with an elementary school age child in partnership with Modesto City Schools; WHAT? – Mentors volunteer a minimum of one hour per week to mentor a child by reading, assisting with homework, playing games, creating art, and listening, with the support of Sierra Vista staff. WHERE? – Six selected elementary Modesto City School sites based on assessed needs include: Burbank, Franklin, Kirschen, Orville Wright, and Shackleford. WHEN? - The volunteer time commitment is for one hour per week, (plus travel time to and from the school site) for the 2023-2024 school year. The schedule aligns with the Modesto City Schools and concludes in May. HOW? – Complete and submit an online application with Sierra Vista Child & Family Services at: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/4958415/Sierra-Vista-Child-Family-Services-Mentor-Application Ø Schedule an appointment for a LIVESCAN background screening and tuberculosis (TB) screening through Modesto City Schools. Cost for screening is covered by MCS. Results are required prior to being allowed on campus as a volunteer mentor. Ø Participate in a volunteer mentor training provided Sierra Vista Child and Family Services in partnership with Sierra Vista Child & Family Services. Training will be approximately three hours and will help prepare volunteers to be successful in their mentoring experience.

In this spirit, Pacific Group Agencies wants to raise awareness about estate planning as a way of securing the future for your family. A Will, or Last Will and Testament, is a legal document that outlines the distribution of your property and assets after you die. Every person over 18 should have a Will, regardless of their net worth. Why do I need a Will?
