Thank you to Julietta for making the Community Services her Nooksack Valley High School Senior Project location. Her project focusing on poverty issues in her community has helped to make the services available more often to the residents as she and her "crew" operate the clothing bank two nights per month. Julietta is the third NVHS Senior to complete her project with Adventist Community Services and A Watered Garden Family Learning Center.

We will be presenting parenting classes for gang awareness, disaster preparedness, family needs and health topics, as the year progresses. Dates and times TBA.

Lives Change Through Education
A Watered Garden Family Learning Center is a service organization dedicated to offering educational opportunities to individuals and families that enrich personal growth and develop community well being.

Creative Programs Make a Difference
Families are transformed through various literacy programs designed for non-native and native English speakers. Friendly, dedicated staff encourage students to reach their full potential. Confidence gained inspires students to apply their new literacy skills with family and friends, and opens lines of communication more effectively within the community.

We are part of a county project for bringing opportunities to families which will increase the capacity to move from poverty to prosperity in health, education, housing and employment through interagency collabortation. www.whatcomcoalition.org
