6:37
Speaker 2: So two more kind of big things we need to
6:39
Speaker 2: talk about as one as our Project Vital.
6:42
Speaker 1: So.
6:42
Speaker 2: Project vital is a tutoring program for adults that want
6:45
Speaker 2: to improve their reading skills and their writing skills for
6:47
Speaker 2: the English language. So it's for it's for students that
6:52
Speaker 2: are adults eighteen years older who are not enrolled in
6:55
Speaker 2: high school and read below a ninth grade level. So
6:57
Speaker 2: this is anybody. It's English speakers, it's people who I mean,
7:00
Speaker 2: I've interviewed some of the tutors that have done Project
7:03
Speaker 2: Vital and they just love doing it. So the tutors,
7:06
Speaker 2: it's a volunteer thing, yea. And you're teaching people from
7:10
Speaker 2: other countries. You're teaching people from here. They have trouble
7:12
Speaker 2: reading and they just talking to the tutors. They just
7:15
Speaker 2: love the experiences they have teaching these students and learning
7:21
Speaker 2: even about their cultures, like they would share recipes, they
7:24
Speaker 2: do all this kind of stuff. So it's a wonderful
7:26
Speaker 2: program to be involved in doing Project Vital as a tutor.
7:30
Speaker 2: And it's flexible and so meaning you know, you go
7:33
Speaker 2: out to you go to South for the winter and
7:36
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. You can adjust your schedule so
7:38
Speaker 2: that you're only kind of teaching during the summertimes and
7:40
Speaker 2: things like that. You can volunteer an hour a week,
7:42
Speaker 2: three hours a week, whatever it is that you want
7:45
Speaker 2: to do. But you know, we're a need for tutors
7:47
Speaker 2: for that Project Vital so if you kind of just
7:50
Speaker 2: want to help people out learn our language better and
7:52
Speaker 2: learn how to teach them how to write better. You know,
7:55
Speaker 2: they've had stories about the students appreciating it because it
7:58
Speaker 2: helps them better at their jobs and that kind of stuff,
8:01
Speaker 2: to just kind of communicate better and that kind of thing. Yeah,

18:48
Speaker 1: outstanding I mean, the nursing field is one of the
18:50
Speaker 1: most popular at Sock Valley Community College. But it falls
18:53
Speaker 1: under this umbrella, correct along with criminal criminal learning a

Speaker 1: little justice, which obviously you know opens up the new
19:02
Speaker 1: uh you know, right to the new center that we
19:05
Speaker 1: have at Sock Valley Community College for that.

19:21
Speaker 2: if you're doing something and you you don't think it's
19:24
Speaker 2: right for you, this is a nice opportunity to come

Speaker 2: out and find out. You know, look at welding, look
19:28
Speaker 2: at criminal justice, the healthcare, that kind of stuff, agriculture.
19:32
Speaker 2: So it's just a nice way that if just to
19:34
Speaker 2: come out and learn. You know, you don't have there's
19:36
Speaker 2: no commitment to anything. It's just to find out what's
19:38
Speaker 2: available and what kind of job opportunities there might be.
19:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, and what the new police academy is we
19:43
Speaker 1: talked about and you know, all of that going on,
19:45
Speaker 1: and so this all again is under that umbrella when
19:49
Speaker 1: it comes to CTE and say actually talked about that
19:52
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this portion here at AM fourteen
19:54
Speaker 1: sixty and FM ninety five one. So it takes in
19:57
Speaker 1: a lot of different career areas and again you can
20:01
Speaker 1: you can learn, you can get information, can you actually
20:05
Speaker 1: sign up and can can a person or how does
20:07
Speaker 1: that work? Now as far as.

20:21
Speaker 1: into what opportunities are available at Stock Valley Community College
20:25
Speaker 1: in these many different areas and a lot of popular areas,
20:28
Speaker 1: as Sasha and Jim just pointed out. At Stock Valley
20:31
Speaker 1: Community College again, the ct open House is February the
20:34
Speaker 1: twenty seventh, runs from six until eight pm, and again

20:47
Speaker 4: You can attend one, one presentation or as many as
20:50
Speaker 4: you'd like.
20:50
Speaker 1: I think it's great, yeah, because you know a person
20:52
Speaker 1: probably has, you know, the thought of here. Well, you know,
20:55
Speaker 1: I don't have to, you know, limit myself to just one,
20:57
Speaker 1: but a lot.
20:58
Speaker 5: Of many do as much as many options as you
21:01
Speaker 5: like exactly.
21:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, you never know what you might find out exactly.
21:05
Speaker 1: And they're convenient too, you know, they're broken down into
21:07
Speaker 1: these segments, so you can just go from the Sasha mentioned,
21:11
Speaker 1: from the classroom to the classroom in the various areas
21:14
Speaker 1: at Stock Valley Community College and learn more. The CTU
21:17
Speaker 1: open House again February twenty seventh, from six until late.
21:19
Speaker 1: As Sasha Logan mentioned, online at SBCC dot edu. Always
21:24
Speaker 1: a great starting point, you know, going to that website
21:27
Speaker 1: address and learning and getting your starting point with that
21:32
Speaker 1: event at Salk Valley Community College. Again reemphasizing the Chocolate Rendezve.
21:36
Speaker 1: We got to re emphasize that because that's the event
21:38
Speaker 1: coming up a week from Saturday that we really.
21:40
Speaker 3: Wanted to pinpoint.
21:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Gary can get out there and get those
21:43
Speaker 2: tickets and yes, get that gift ready for your Valentine's
21:46
Speaker 2: So it's again it's a fun night. It's a fun night,
21:49
Speaker 2: and it's the music is fantastic, and there's the bourbon
21:52
Speaker 2: tasting that will be out there. There's of course chocolates everywhere,
21:56
Speaker 2: desserts everywhere, and there's going to be fantastic food, and
22:00
Speaker 2: it's just a really nice night to just get out there.
22:01
Speaker 2: But again, the biggest reason why we do this is
22:03
Speaker 2: to support the Impact program and so and it's you know,
22:06
Speaker 2: you don't spend any money once you walk through those doors.
22:08
Speaker 2: You know, there's no silent auction, there's no bidding on anything.
22:11
Speaker 2: There's it's just you walk in those doors and you
22:13
Speaker 2: have a good time.
22:14
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely benefits. This is one of the biggest fund
22:17
Speaker 1: raisers of Sock Valley Community College holds story.
22:19
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.
22:20
Speaker 1: The only, the only, the only, the big one that
22:22
Speaker 1: we do exactly is.
22:24
Speaker 2: One event that we do, and again is to help
22:26
Speaker 2: out the students you know that are volunteering around the community,
22:30
Speaker 2: which I can't remember. We're at like fifty thousand and
22:31
Speaker 2: sixty thousand hours of volunteer time that these students have
22:34
Speaker 2: put in and so you know this the Rendezvous helps
22:38
Speaker 2: support that that program, the Impact Program, and so it's
22:41
Speaker 2: it's been a big, just a big opportunity around this
22:46
Speaker 2: community to have these students just we see them everywhere now,
22:49
Speaker 2: which is like I see them everywhere. I granted them
22:51
Speaker 2: at the college and they come out to the college,
22:53
Speaker 2: but I see them out in Dixon doing different volunteer
22:56
Speaker 2: opportunities there and it's just fantastic. And I've I've interviewed
22:59
Speaker 2: some of the kids that have done the program and
23:01
Speaker 2: they've all said that it's actually helped with their social
23:03
Speaker 2: skills because they get out and they meet people and
23:05
Speaker 2: they have to talk to adults. And so it's been
23:08
Speaker 2: a program that not just only gives them the opportunity
23:11
Speaker 2: to go to SOCC for free, but it also has
23:13
Speaker 2: helped them with their social skills and getting out there
23:15
Speaker 2: and learning what's available and networking and that kind of thing.
23:18
Speaker 1: So win when it's a win win, As far as
23:21
Speaker 1: I'm concerned for our entire Stock Valley, Sasha is shaking out.
23:24
Speaker 4: You're going to be absolutely there.
23:25
Speaker 1: You go meet Sasha Logan Chocolate Rondevu a week from Saturday,
23:30
