The Adopt-A-Family project which has been running for nearly 30 years and supports families struggling to make ends meet during the holidays. Each year we partner with 25 fellow non-profits on this project to meet the needs of more than 450 families. Accompanied by the Adopt-a-family project is the Stars Program! Each year local businesses support the Adopt-A-Family project by displaying stars in their businesses. These gifts are then donated to families that are not adopted by our partner agencies. It has been a tradition that YouthSERVE volunteers make star ornaments for the stars programs during the summertime to help us prepare! During the holiday season, folks will pick up these DIY stars ornaments, purchase the gift labeled on them, and return them to the bank or business. Traditionally these stars ornaments are made of foam or sturdy paper, but this year we will be creating virtual stars as well. We welcome you to use Canva.com to create stars ornaments. Once you register on our website, we will follow up with you and provide the easy steps to create your star ornaments! Please note that we only verify community service hours for volunteers within the Santa Cruz County area. Please do not start this project until the YouthSERVE Coordinator has contacted you. Feel free to reach out to the YouthSERVE Coordinator at ys@scvolunteercenter with any questions or concerns.
