The Creator Faire is a community-building event to help cultivate and engage student learners in the hands-on exploration of the arts and sciences.

It is a free (donations welcome) maker-type event for the entire Petaluma/Sonoma County community. We expect over 600 people to take part in our art or science-centric, hands-on activities, provided and run by River Montessori family and community member volunteers.

Volunteers are needed to help set up tables, tents and supplies on Saturday morning, help facilitate art and or science-type activities throughout the event, for example help create paper rockets, put shrinky dinks in the toast oven, make and play in oobleck, design and sail away cork boats, build with magnetic blocks and so much more, and/or clean up on Saturday later afternoon.

The Creator Faire is an opportunity for our entire community to discover, collaborate, to make (and unmake), to learn and to play!

Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) is a state-based national nonprofit organization dedicated to reaching out to young people at risk of dropping out and assisting in overcoming serious barriers such as poverty, basic skills deficiency, living in foster care, and many others. Since 2007, EmployIndy has managed all Indianapolis JAG programs and now offers programming to 15 different schools throughout the city.

Each year, EmployIndy holds the regional Career Development Conference (CDC) for JAG students from all over Marion County. On February 7th, 2019, JAG students will compete in a variety of competitions to demonstrate their employability skills, understanding of the workforce, and professionalism. Students who participate in the CDC will be required to dress in business professional clothing, which is provided to participants through JAG and EmployIndy. For the past nine years, professional clothing was purchased from Kohl’s, spending over $11,000 for student competition outfits. With such a wide variety of affordable professional attire and accessible and inviting atmosphere for youth and young adults getting their start in the workforce, Kohls’ is an ideal partner for the CDC. Volunteer opportunities will be available at each JAG participating high school in Marion County the month before the conference. Volunteers will give a presentation on the best ways to dress and look professional for interviews, internships, jobs, and conferences. Volunteers have the opportunity to present at the JAG high school of their choice (first come, first served) and volunteer hours will be flexible. There will also be two additional volunteer positions to judge the CDC on February 7, 2019.

Serving on the board of Communities of Rooted Brilliance (CRB) is an opportunity to be a champion of community efforts to support educational equity. We believe that we must intentionally address community needs while incorporating community voices in the design and implementation of our programs. Based on a framework of social justice, rather than social service, and strengths rather than deficits, we aim to create a model of community-driven systems change that engages all stakeholders (youth, families, communities, schools, service providers, government, etc.) in a coordinated manner to collectively dismantle inequities.

Communities of Rooted Brilliance (CRB) promote the self-sufficiency of refugees and immigrants by helping them access services and educational opportunities while preserving traditional customs.

CRB offers safe community spaces for the diverse, multi-ethnic communities from Burma, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Bolivia, Eritrea, and Bhutan living in King County, WA. CRB’s programs are designed to reach across linguistic, religious, and cultural barriers to foster a community that can learn from and grows with one another. Since 2009, CRB has served refugees and immigrants living in South King County, by providing educational opportunities to engage the whole family, from pre-Kindergarten to adulthood. The communities we serve are low-income, traditionally underserved, and from a region where students and families have limited access to educational opportunities to develop confidence and skills for self-sufficiency. We seek to transform refugees to become advocates of our community and to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate humanitarian and social support services to improve the living conditions and quality of life for immigrants and refugees.

We are looking to increase our local representation on our board, as well as seeking to fill board leadership positions.
