American Canyon and other south county residents now have a Family Resource Center at the Napa Junction Magnet School campus on 500 Eucalyptus Drive. This Family Resource Center is the result of a collaboration between the Napa Valley Unified School District, Napa Valley Education Foundation, On the Move and the city of American Canyon. Napa Valley Vintners invested more than $1 million to build the center.

Young people are stepping up flaunting issues close to their hearts, exercising their social media savvy and connecting with fellow students and elected representatives in a unified chorus fighting for change. Rising-star activists abound in the Napa Valley and include students Kennedy Ervin, Aedyn Frazer, Bertha Gallegos, Marisa Balades, Brooke Shein and Annika Lindroos. Their presence will be felt — and heard- at the fourth Women’s March on Saturday, Jan. 18.

Two years ago, a group of then-sixth graders from Phillips convinced the city and Napa Mayor Jill Techel to add much-needed streetlights and sidewalks to areas around the east Napa school. Today, those students, and that journey, are the stars of a new documentary released on April 2 on both Amazon Prime and the Roku Channel.

“With so many recent policy changes, the Napa Citizenship Legal Services (CLS) Collaborative wants to ensure that all Napa County residents and businesses are updated on the latest information and know how to access reputable local resources,” said Ellen Dumesnil, Executive Director of International Institute of the Bay Area and the lead agency for CLS.
