American River College conducts, in cooperation with industry, a number of apprenticeship programs. An apprenticeship program is a formal system of occupational training from one to five years, that combines paid employment, on-the-job training and job related college instruction in order to develop skilled workers.

Apprenticeship programs are a cooperative effort between employers, the Department of Labor (DOL) and/or the Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS), and the college.

Enrollment in an apprenticeship course is limited to registered apprentices. Information on admission to apprenticeship status can be obtained from the local trade in which you are interested, or from the office of the Dean of Technical Education.

The purpose of the CSBG program is to reduce the incidence and effects of poverty and empower low-income families and individuals to become self-sufficient.

The program operates through neighborhood-based organizations that provide resources and services to produce measurable impacts on the causes and symptoms of poverty experienced by challenged families and communities.

CSBG provides a range of services to assist low-income people in attaining the skills, knowledge, and motivation necessary to achieve self-sufficiency. The program also provides low-income people with immediate life necessities such as emergency food, shelter, transportation, and access to available community resources.

In Sacramento County, programs funded through CSBG strive to eliminate the conditions of poverty affecting the county's low-income residents. They provide case management, emergency shelter, transportation, emergency food, and counseling services for at-risk youth, frail elderly, disabled persons, low-income families, and the homeless. Only Sacramento County residents that meet federal poverty income guidelines are eligible for CSBG services.

SETA is the designated Community Action Agency for Sacramento County for the provision of Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) services.

CSBG funding originates with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and remains one of the last remaining efforts of the War on Poverty.

Several financial assistance programs are available. Find out what they are and how subsidized child care works.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Children's Home Society of California (CHS) has three Child Care Payment Programs that provide subsidized child care services to eligible families: Alternative Payment, CalWORKs, and Family Child Care Home Education Network programs. Through these programs, in Fiscal Year 2018, CHS provided services to over 9,700 children and over 5,500 families. In all, more than 2,099,000 days of care were provided to children across California.

Alternative Payment Program

This program pays for all or part of child care expenses if parents work, seek work, attend school, seek permanent housing, experience homelessness, are incapacitated, are deemed at risk by a legally qualified professional, and/or are receiving child protective services. Through this program, participating families select caregivers from a variety of licensed and license-exempt child care providers throughout the community.

CalWORKs

As families are transitioning off cash aid/welfare assistance, it is essential that parents have access to subsidized child care to gain financial independence. This program pays for all or part of child care expenses while parents participate in CalWORKs Welfare-to-Work plans, are employed, or attend school. Families are referred to CHS through local offices of the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), or families self-refer by completing a CHS Eligibility List Questionnaire.

Family Child Care Home Education Network

The Family Child Care Home Education Network (FCCHEN) program is a partnership between the parent, family child care home provider, and Children's Home Society of California (CHS). The FCCHEN program offers affordable child care to eligible parents, supports the quality of child care, and establishes relationships between children, parents, family child care home providers, and CHS program specialists. Family child care home providers enrolled in the FCCHEN program receive ongoing professional development training, guidance, and technical support from CHS program specialists to assure high-quality child development services. For more information regarding the FCCHEN program, click here.

In all programs, CHS provides parents with child care referrals and technical assistance.

Learn more about eligibility for the Child Care Payment Program.

CARECONNECT

Children's Home Society of California is very pleased to offer CareConnect for child care providers who are participating in the Child Care Payment Program (CCPP). CareConnect is an Internet site and mobile app that allows providers to view authorized care for their enrolled children; access, complete, and submit digital CHS Attendance Sheets to CHS electronically; download and print CHS Attendance Sheets for their enrolled children; check the status of attendance records submitted for payment; and view payment details.

Testimonials Hear It From Our Consumers...

"For nearly a year, I had difficulties accessing services through In Home Supportive Services (IHSS). I was in need of additional service hours in order to live independently in my home. I reached out to RIL and my problem was resolved. I am happy to say that I am very proud of RIL and the services they provide to people with disabilities."

- RIL Consumer

"I was injured on my job and was unable to work. After my benefits ran out I could not pay my rent for three months. I was in the process of being evicted when an agency referred me to RIL. Through a transition grant, my back rent was paid and RIL prevented me from becoming homeless. I was recently offered and accepted a job to maintain my independence and to further avoid homelessness. I will forever be thankful for RIL and how they helped me."

- RIL Consumer

"During a lengthy illness and death of my wife, my seven children and I lost our Housing Choice Voucher for the first time in 12 years. My wife always had the responsibility of maintaining our voucher, I turned to RIL. RIL assisted my family in order to reinstate our voucher. We would not have been able to make it without a voucher. RIL was a blessing and we are truly grateful for their services."

The Women's Clothes Closet was renovated in 2006 to meet the needs of homeless women and children. One of the most alarming trends we see is a growing number of women and children on the streets as well as the swelling ranks of the working poor. Sadly, many single women and mothers simply can't make ends meet. Each year, as the number grows, the need for more facilities equipped to provide assistance becomes more critical and The Union Gospel Mission has responded to the need. Here, twice a week, women and children can come and receive clothing, shoes and much needed supplies, all free of charge. In addition, a Bible study is provided, along with a light snack and beverages.

Our remodeled building is equipped with dozens of neatly displayed racks of fashionable clothing, shoes, purses, socks and undergarments, as well as accessories and toiletries. Children's clothing and shoes are also provided for women with children ranging from infant to school age. Dressing rooms allow women to try on clothes, making sure they fit, and actually see themselves before they take things home. Our goal is to give each women that comes in a shopping experience and restore dignity in a loving, Christ centered atmosphere.

The Women's Closet is staffed by caring volunteers who act as assistants to each guest. Bible study leaders and volunteers are available to listen and encourage. As shopping concludes, volunteers have the opportunity to visit and build relationships with one another. Here, women from all social/economic backgrounds can come together and bear one another's burdens, share hopes and dreams or perhaps make a new friend.

Each week, Monday and Wednesday are set aside for volunteers to come together to sort and size clothing, shoes and accessories. These caring individuals make sure that the closet resembles a department store, and help to keep it tidy, organized and presentable for shopping.

This wonderful ministry to the poor and indigent women of our community relies on the generosity of people like you. Women and children's clothing in all sizes and in good condition are needed as well as socks, undergarments and toiletries which are always a pressing need.

In 1879, the Seventh-day Adventist Church officially named the "Dorcas Society" as its community outreach program. It is named after Dorcus a believer with a passion to serve others. Her story is found in

" 32 As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the Lord's people who lived in Lydda....

36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor.... 37 About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room. 38 Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, 'Please come at once!'

39 Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.

The Dorcas Society consisted of groups of women who met frequently to provide clothes, food for families in the church or the immediate community who had temporary needs. Later, several churches wanted to involve men and started the idea of a co-ed Good Samaritan Society. By 1953, the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church broadened the concept of services to address an increasingly urbanized society.

An internship requires a minimum 10-week quarter commitment and can span multiple quarters

Internships are guided, supervised and evaluated by professionals

To qualify for transcript notation, internships require a minimum of 40 hours per quarter

Internships ideally are paid; however, if the internship is unpaid, duties may not replace those of paid employees

Students are encouraged to complete the transcript notation process through Handshake to document that their experience has been reviewed and approved by the ICC

Students at all class levels are eligible to participate in internships, depending upon the requirements of the organization

The ICC follows NACE guidelines for best practices.

Since 1983, Chris & Dan Delany welcomed every person who asked for help, into this sacred space. We have had to take the necessary social-distance precautions, but we continue to serve our guests.

Modified hours of operation were put into effect on March 16, 2020. We are open from 7am to 12pm, Monday through Friday. For specific program information see below:

Breakfast is being provided at Friendship Park to guests and is open until noon.

The Dining Room is serving lunch everyday (including weekends) from 10am to noon.

Maryhouse is distributing survival supplies to our women and families and providing access to showers.

The Wash House is providing shower access to men.

Sister Nora's Place, our onsite shelter for women, is open and operating.

The Warehouse is open from 7am-12pm Mon-Fri for donation drop-offs.

March 16, 2020

Dear Sacramento Loaves & Fishes Community,

As we all navigate the changing circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to assure our community of guests, volunteers, staff, and supporters that we remain dedicated to our mission of providing critical services for adults and children experiencing homelessness in Sacramento. We continue to monitor the evolving response from our local, state, and federal government and comply with their recommended guidelines. Loaves & Fishes is committed to the health and wellbeing of our 80 staff and 4,000 volunteers. As a result, we have made changes to our operations. Based on Governor Newsom's recommendation on March 15, 2020, we request that any staff or volunteer over the age of 65 stay home and self-quarantine.

Operating hours forall essential campus programs are reduced to noon each day until further notice. The following adjustments have been made to each program:

The Dining Room will remain open to distribute "to-go" or bag lunches for guests.

Sister Nora's overnight residential program will remain open, but residents have been communicated to practice social distancing.

Maryhouse, daytime hospitality shelter will limit traffic inside, but continue services and dispense survival supplies.

The Washhouse will minimize congestion inside, but remain open.

Mustard Seed School will run a limited half-day program on campus from 8:15-11:30 am for unsheltered children living in cars or outside and the front office will stay open until noon for intakes.

The Warehouse will remain open until noon to receive donations.

Friendship Park is open to provide breakfasts, supply survival items, and lunch tickets.

All other programs will close for the time being.

Sacramento Loaves & Fishes has served as a house of hospitality for nearly 40 years, and we have endured challenges in the past, but the onset of this pandemic is unprecedented. We have been told that life will drastically change in America and are already experiencing these effects. As the local and state government make promises of sheltering our most vulnerable populations, the question remains of how long this process may take and what barriers will arise. We will continue to be here in the fight for our guest's survival and provide them with no-barrier services to address their immediate needs. Your support is needed now more than ever.

We expect that in this time of crisis, donations will be sparse and for our organization,which is 100% resourced by our community of supporters and foundations, we will need your continued support. Please make a monetary donation online or drop-off in-kind items to our warehouse open until noon each day.

We will keep you informed with any changes or other announcements. For questions or concerns, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

In community,

Noel Kammermann

To paraphrase Co-Founder Chris Delany, Loaves & Fishes started from a mustard seed and has become an oasis. You dear reader, along with our committed supporters are what continues to nourish this sacred space. Please donate today to ensure critical survival services are delivered to nearly 1,000 adults and children everyday.

Women and children can find survival supplies and connections to resources in a welcoming, safe, encouraging environment. Learn more about Maryhouse and Mustard Seed School.

Our Dining Room serves a hot, hearty midday meal for up to 800 people every day. For many of our guests, this is their only connection to nutritious food. Learn more about the Dining Room.

We meet our guests and their needs where they are. Friendship Park brings together everything from survival supplies to local homeless services providers in one place. Learn more about Friendship Park.

Celebrate a birthday, major milestone, or just a random Tuesday by supporting Sacramento's homeless men, women, and children.

Get an inside look at Loaves & Fishes with our North C Street Stories, an authentic behind-the-scenes look at our guests, volunteers, and staff, as well as struggles and victories that happen on campus every day.

This section includes tools and resources for county human services agencies relating to immigration, health care and public benefits under current law. County humans service agencies are fielding many calls from clients and the community regarding immigrants' eligibility for health and other public benefits.

CWDA and county human services agencies understand there is increased uncertainty and anxiety about information around health care and other public assistance programs. Our association will continue to work closely with our state and federal partners, including the National Immigration Law Center, Western Center on Law & Poverty, Protecting Immigrant Families (PIF) and others to ensure we share the latest information.

Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg's "Thousand Strong" paid internship program for high schoolers is now accepting applications for the 2023-2024 session.

The Thousand Strong program, which Steinberg launched seven years ago, offers participants 300 hours of paid work experience over a year and an additional 40 hours of workplace basics training.

Employers for the 2024-2025 cohort include Florin Square Community Development Corporation, WellSpace Health, The Makers Place, Sacramento Public Library, Earth Mama Healing, and the Center for Land-Based Learning, with more employers expected to come on board in the future.

"In 2017, we launched Thousand Strong with the goal of providing year-round, paid work experience for high school students," Steinberg said. "Through this program, our interns have dedicated 300 hours with local organizations, building skills and creating career pathways."

Since the program started, more than 800 students have participated, earning more than $800,000 in wages and working nearly 70,000 hours.

"During my pre-internship, I wasn't very outspoken and confident with my words and actions," said Candice Vue, a high school senior at Grant Union High School, who has participated in Thousand Strong for two years. "As time progressed, I saw a major improvement with my communication skills and my confidence."

The Thousand Strong program is unique because it employs a city-wide approach to workforce development, offering a year of paid work experience and place-based experiences. The program ensures that students leave the education system equipped with the skills needed to transition into the world of work.

"Thousand Strong really impacted me and left a lasting impression," said Lili Barajas, a high school student at Natomas Charter School. "This internship program allowed me the opportunity to experience a real life work setting. I've never had a job before this internship and being on site in an area of work that I want to work in once I'm older motivated me and allowed me to really see myself in that setting."

Samsara Gomez, a high school senior at Grant Union High School, said her participation in Thousand Strong had changed her conception of herself.

"I've always thought of myself as lazy and not hard-working compared to others, but this internship has made me realize how motivated and determined I am when working outdoors," she said. "Something about working in the sun and being surrounded by bees and trees gives me the motivation to keep on going."

Students interested in participating in Thousand Strong must be enrolled in high school, be 16 years old by June 16, and be able to obtain a work permit from their school if they are under 18 years old. The application is a very simple online form, and applications are due by June 3, 2023. Parents or students with questions should reach out to thousandstrong@cityofsacramento.org.
