Der talte vi med administrerende direkt\u00f8r Pearl Galvan for at f\u00e5 mere at vide om programmet, de succeser, de hidtil har opn\u00e5et, og den videre udvikling, de planl\u00e6gger, n\u00e5r de udvider dette program inden for Santa Paula Unified School District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En central del af programmet er mentorerne, som arbejder direkte med eleverne. \u201cMentorprogrammet for grundskolen f\u00f8lger en gruppe p\u00e5 30 elever i en tre\u00e5rig periode fra 6. til 8. klasse,\u201d sagde Pearl. \u201cMentorerne hj\u00e6lper dem med at forbedre deres deltagelse, adf\u00e6rd, selvtillid og probleml\u00f8sningsevner for at hj\u00e6lpe dem p\u00e5 rette vej, s\u00e5 n\u00e5r de g\u00e5r p\u00e5 gymnasiet, lykkes de.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hun uddybede yderligere nogle af de vigtigste resultater, som de h\u00e5ber at opn\u00e5, og sagde: \u201cEn af dem er deres selvtillid, deres forst\u00e5else for skolens betydning og for at sikre, at de har en stemme, at de l\u00e6rer at v\u00e6re ledere og ikke blot f\u00f8lge efter andre. Det er noget, vi sigter mod, samt at bygge et bedre f\u00e6llesskab og de mennesker, de omgiver sig med.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under deres pr\u00e6sentation spillede BGSCV-holdet en video fra programmet alum Vicente ved deres seneste prisoverr\u00e6kkelse, hvor han delte, hvordan dette program \u00e6ndrede hans liv i en r\u00f8rende tale.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/BGC-Group-Edit-1024x546.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24487\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.8754267419416613;width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/BGC-Group-Edit-1024x546.png 1024w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/BGC-Group-Edit-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/BGC-Group-Edit-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/BGC-Group-Edit-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/vccf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/BGC-Group-Edit.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cF\u00f8r jeg begyndte at studere, tog jeg ikke altid de bedste beslutninger for mig selv,\u201d sagde Vicente. \u201cJeg undgik ofte at m\u00f8de op til undervisningen, mistede fokus p\u00e5 mit arbejde og tog nogle gange ikke skolen eller min fremtid s\u00e5 alvorligt som jeg burde have gjort. \u00c6rligt talt kendte jeg de hurtigste ruter rundt p\u00e5 campus bedre end nogle af mine opgaver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Da han t\u00e6nkte over virkningen af dette program p\u00e5 sit liv, takkede han sin mentor, Manny Ortiz. \u201cHan hjalp mig med at indse, at jeg er i stand til mere end jeg troede,\u201d sagde Vicente. \u201cHan gav aldrig op om mig, selv under perioder, hvor jeg ikke gav mit bedste.\u201d Og det havde en enorm indvirkning p\u00e5 mig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pearl delte ogs\u00e5 sine h\u00e5b for programmets fremtid og udviklingspotentiale for dette succesfulde program. I \u00f8jeblikket har programmet v\u00e6ret udelukkende tilg\u00e6ngeligt p\u00e5 Fillmore Middle School, og udvidelsen til SPUSD giver en sp\u00e6ndende mulighed for at bringe disse fordele til endnu flere elever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVi \u00f8nsker blot at udvide det og give de samme muligheder for b\u00f8rnene i Santa Paula p\u00e5 gymnasieniveau, og dette er f\u00f8rste gang, vi tager fat p\u00e5 gymnasiet, s\u00e5 vi er sp\u00e6ndte,\u201d sagde Pearl. \u201cMed jeres st\u00f8tte tror jeg, at vi kan g\u00f8re fantastiske ting; endda tilbyde ikke \u00e9n, men m\u00e5ske to mentorer i fremtiden, s\u00e5 l\u00e6nge det er en succes, og kunne tilbyde flere tjenester til flere elever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For at l\u00e6re mere, bes\u00f8g <a href=\"https:\/\/bgclubscv.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bgclubscv.org<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boys &amp; Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley invited VCCF to visit their Santa Paula club and discuss the exciting expansions to their Middle School Mentor Program.
