Reach Out and Read
Reach Out and Read (ROR) is an evidence-based intervention that prepares America's youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to provide books and encourage families to read together. Medical providers encourage parents and caregivers to share books with their young children by advising them to read to their children daily and offering age-appropriate literacy guidance. The program targets clinics that serve children and families in need (from low socio-economic backgrounds) in both metropolitan Fresno and rural Fresno County.

Early Screening for Foster Children
The overall purpose is to advocate for early intervention services for foster children ages 0-5 within the dependency system. Volunteer advocates are trained to serve children ages 0-5. These volunteers do the following: advocate for an assigned foster child to connect the child to other professionals and to foster care providers involved in the child's life so the child has the best opportunity for safety, permanence, well-being and a healthy and successful life.
This support is critical for these young children in the foster care system who are at high risk for developmental delays due to the abuse/trauma in their lives. Additionally, the volunteer screens for developmental delays and advocate for the services needed by the child.
