SAFE PLACE                          Receives Carmel Valley Rotary P.I.C.S. Program Grant

A team of CVHS students, through the Carmel Valley Rotary P.I.C.S. Program, chose non-profit group SAFE PLACE, in Monterey, CA to receive a $2000 grant at an awards banquet on Tuesday May 8, 2018. SAFE PLACE Counselor, Victor Martinez, was there to receive the award saying that this grant is greatly needed and will go directly towards providing assistance, support and shelter for local youth. The CVHS student P.I.C.S. Program team of Katarina Harrison, Matin Khani, Taylor Conforti, and Thomas Fontenay presented the check. CVHS Teacher Jeff Schatz was the advisor for this team of conscientious students.

SAFE PLACE is a comprehensive program for at-risk, runaway and homeless youth that provides everything from street outreach, survival aid, and temporary shelter, to counseling, family reunification and aftercare. They also provide assistance for at-risk, runaway and homeless youth in need of mental health services and support.

Through the P.I.C.S. Program, teams of CVHS students were tasked with researching and contacting local non-profit groups, visiting some of those sites, and then making presentations to the school as a whole on their findings. All students then voted on which non-profit should be awarded the P.I.C.S. Program grant.

Thank you to the Carmel Valley Rotary for providing CVHS students with this meaningful and valuable experience!
