MOSAIC Children's Museum - MUSEUM MURAL PROJECT
MOSAIC Children's Museum
Museum Of Science Art Imagination and Creativity
MOSAIC Children’s Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity dedicated to inspiring and empowering children through science, art, imagination, and creativity. Our vision is to become a full lifecycle community resource that teaches young children to learn through their curiosity. We want to make this a place for children to experience a part of not only their history but their community’s history as well. We are members of the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM), which can offer strategic direction for emerging children’s museums. We are delighted to announce that we now have a museum location at 120 Main Street, Suite D, in Woodland!
Our hands-on exhibits, programs and resources are vetted through child experts, educators and social workers and are formed to center on and enhance STREAM curriculum; Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art and Math Studies.
100 Men entrusted MOSAIC with funds for building an Air Maze/Tunnel, which we are featuring when we open late Spring this year. Should we receive another grant from this organization, the moneys will be used for the murals which will enhance the themes in each of the exhibits. This will also have the recognition given near the mural for people to know who sponsored it.
We thank you so much for the opportunity to present the developments of MOSAIC since our last presentation, and allow us to feature our renewed goal to provide a rewarding, educational, and fun experience for our young visitors and their families.
We appreciate your continued dedication to supporting local initiatives that bring value to our community!

SPECIAL OLYMPICS NORTHERN CALIFORNIA - ATHLETE LEADERSHIP
Greetings!
On behalf of the Special Olympics of Northern California (Special Olympics,) thank you for the opportunity to present to 100 Men of Yolo.
Who We Are
Our mission is to create an inclusive community where people with and without disabilities can make connections, develop healthy lifestyles, achieve success, and experience the joy of sports. Our vision is to live in a world where the values of unity and respect are woven into our every community.
What We Do
We use sports to jumpstart change and spark joy. Here in Yolo County, we offer softball, bocce ball, track and field, basketball and bowling. There is never a cost to our participants. Sports is at the heart of everything we do, but far from all of it. We strive to challenge stigma and create opportunities for everyone to shine both on and off the field.
We offer a health program providing free screenings at events throughout the year, including eye, ear, dental, and foot health, plus resources for strong minds. Our School Partnership program unifies students with and without disabilities through sports and whole school engagement.
Our Athlete Leadership Program puts individuals with intellectual disabilities at the forefront of change. Through skills-based classes, presentation opportunities, and chances to take on leadership roles, athletes are empowered to become advocates for themselves and others with disabilities.
What We Would Do With 100 Men Funds
We would like to offer an Athlete Leadership Conference in the Sacramento region this coming spring. The costs of this event include transportation, hotel and food for the athletes and their chaperones.
Respectfully, we will be asking 100 Men of Yolo to be a conference sponsor and partner in helping to give our local athletes the opportunity to acquire the skills it takes to become confident ambassadors of acceptance, unity, and respect leading us to a more inclusive world. Again, I thank you for this opportunity.
In the Spirit of Special Olympics,
Lori Ross

Mission Statement
To better the lives of people with mental illness through direct services, advocacy, education, and volunteer efforts. Our goal is to provide consumer-driven services that will assist people in attaining the highest level of mental health possible.
Programs
YCCC is a 501 3c non-profit organization that manages six different programs offering compassionate, innovative, and direct services to consumers including two crisis residential treatment programs that focus on assisting individuals to regain psychiatric stability. There are two long-term residential treatment programs that focus on assisting clients with returning to the community by learning independent living skills and supportive housing. We have a partnership with Sutter and Dignity Foundation for our ICP (Interim Care Program) which provides respite and intensive case management services for homeless clients who are discharged from the hospital but have no place to go to appropriately heal.
Yolo Community Care Continuum (YCCC) has been providing community-based mental health support services in Northern California for over 40 years. Our organization was founded in 1979 when a small group of concerned parents gathered to resolve a dilemma they shared. Each of the parents had young adult children who had been diagnosed with a mental illness too severe to be cared for at home. They believed it would be beneficial to their children if they could live close by, in a community setting, while receiving the professional support necessary to avoid institutionalization. These parents decided to create a place that felt like a home, where their adult children could get the professional treatment and compassionate support, they needed to live their lives as productively as possible. One couple donated a house on 10 acres of land and Yolo Community Care Continuum was born. Now our agency serves over 500 adult clients annually through our residential and outpatient programs. This vision has become a state-wide model for mental health care. Our programs provide a continuum of services including crisis residential treatment, rehabilitative residential treatment, and supportive housing.
Farmhouse
Farmhouse (the start of YCCC) is a long-term rehabilitative treatment facility that provides a supportive group living environment for adults who need to learn independent living skills to live successfully at a lower level of care or independently. The Farmhouse also offers employment through the Farm to Mouth vocational program for Farmhouse clients and for people with mental illness from the community. Mental Health consumers gain valuable garden-based vocational skills. They learn not only how to grow something from seed to harvest, but how to go through the interview process, manage their time, call in sick, and follow instructions; they also learn how to use “working” as a therapeutic tool.
The Farmhouse would love the opportunity to present to you in hopes of receiving some always-needed funding for our long-term not-for-profit residential care facility and our onsite garden-based vocational program, Farm to Mouth.
Farm-to-Mouth Program
Farm-to-Mouth is a program at Farmhouse that helps our clients with mental health diagnoses to learn a variety of career skills by working on the farm. The Farmhouse has an abundant amount of land and we are only utilizing 30% of it. The potential we have at Farmhouse isn’t maximized and can be beneficial for not only the Farmhouse clients but the community. Being able to use 100% of the land can help Farm-to-Mouth sell the harvest out to the community and much more.
To be able to expand, use, and maintain the farming land we would buy power equipment to cultivate the land. We would buy an electric power tiller to create new garden beds, and backpack sprayers, and/or fix the broken tractor to cut the grass. These are only some ideas of the equipment we would acquire. Thank you so much for your consideration to be part of this opportunity!
