Attention all Sandoval Blackhawk families, you have been invited to participate in a Virtual Community Resources Event hosted by our ALOP Student Success Coach, Brittany Ruscher, and the Regional Office of Education #13 - Alternative Learning Opportunities Program (ALOP).
This workshop has been designed to provide a comprehensive and in-depth review of the vast community resources available for students/youth and their families.
Community resources are incredibly important to individuals and families and can be essential in helping people access assistance, as well as expand their range of outlets of support to meet their needs. Community resources help build stronger, more resilient individuals and communities.
By understanding and supporting the resources our local communities have to offer, we actively contribute to the growth and prosperity of our surroundings while fostering a sense of support and interconnectedness.
We hope this guide will be a positive resource for you and your family to utilize.
At the end of the presentation, you will be asked to complete an exit survey for an opportunity to receive a FREE GIFT! (*Free gift only available to the first 15 participants who complete & submit the survey- gifts are limited!).
We thank you for taking the time to learn and explore the various Community Resources available to you and your family!
Event ends March 31st, 2025
