Careers in Education Day and Substitute Teacher Recruitment Job Fair Slated for Saturday, August 12
This mentor-based program is designed to assist high school students as they transition to college, and to help college students as they transition to careers. We do this by pairing students with community members who can provide them with college and career guidance. These pairs agree to meet a minimum of six times during the school year to work toward this objective. The resources provided on this page are intended to assist you in this effort.
“Operation Backpack enables us to distribute backpacks to kids who wouldn’t have them otherwise and for us that’s huge,” said Changnon. “We invite the community to support the homeless and low-income children and their families by bringing new backpacks filled with school supplies to one of the drop-off locations throughout Modesto.” Additional information including a full listing of all drop-off locations, how to volunteer, and the option to give online, is available at www.stancoe.org/go/backpack

The start of a new school year is an exciting time for most children, but for homeless children, this is a time open to emotional and academic challenges. Without even the most basic supplies, these students start at a disadvantage that only gets worse as the school year progresses. The Stanislaus County Office of Education aims to provide local homeless and at-risk youth with new backpacks and school supplies – tools they need to achieve academic success.
