Resource Spotlight is a new monthly program designed to connect you with valuable community resources. Each session will feature guest speakers from local agencies who will share up-to-date information on services, eligibility, and contact details. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and get the information you need in a welcoming, interactive environment. Learn about topics relating to Health & Safety, Nutrition, Support Services, Legal Services, Transportation, & much more!

Whether you’re new to these resources or just need updated information, Resource Spotlight will have it. Sessions will be held at Vista Center in our Conference Room. We’ll even provide light, healthy refreshments to make it a fun and engaging experience.

We can’t wait to help you discover the resources that will enhance your independence and confidence!

Join us for our next session on Wednesday, August 5th, from 1:00 – 2:00 pm.

Description: Join us for an engaging Resource Spotlight featuring special guests from Guide Dogs for the Blind (GDB)! We are excited to welcome Mikhaila, Field Service Manager for the Santa Cruz Puppy Raisers, who will provide an inside look at the Guide Dogs for the Blind program, including the puppy raising process, guide dog training, and how dogs are matched with their handlers. We’ll also hear from Siobhan, a GDB graduate, who will share her personal experiences working with a guide dog and how it has impacted her independence and daily life. As a special treat, guide dogs in training will be on site during the presentation, giving attendees the opportunity to meet these remarkable future service dogs and learn more about their journey. Whether you’re curious about guide dogs, considering applying for one, or simply interested in learning more, this is a presentation you won’t want to miss!
