Staff Rejuvenates at Retreat!

The PVSS staff recently attended an overnight retreat focused on rejuvenation. It was a memorable time of bonding, self-care, and relaxation for our small but mighty team. Special thanks to Sister Susan Olson for hosting us at the beautiful Villa Angelica in Carmel. We were blessed!

AiducateNow's STEMnUS Workshops at PVSS

In partnership with Pajaro Valley Shelter Services (PVSS), AiducateNow launched it’s STEMnUS program to stimulate aspirations in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields among underprivileged children living in shelters around the San Francisco Bay Area.

The program provides educational resources outside of normal school activities to children in the Emergency and Transitional Housing Services of PVSS whose families earn less than one-half the federal poverty level. Independent instructional units, called modules, led by STEM professionals teach the fundamentals of various topics including robotics, biology, medicine, chemistry, computer science, math and engineering.

Schedule a TOUR today!

As the river of homelessness continues to rage, Pajaro Valley Shelter Services is on the banks with proven programs and relational case managers to assist those at risk of falling into the river and those already downstream.

Join us for a tour and learn how we are a life raft for those in need. Tours offered at Noon and 5:30pm on Friday, September 2.  Private tours also available.
