Gary & Janice Podesto Teen Impact Center TIC Musicians Teen Leadership Council “Bank on Your Dreams” Program

The Teen Impact Center offers weekly programs and activities to teens and families and is available to rent for special occasions.

The Center served an average of 1,000 teens per month who participated in the activities offered.

Letter from the Executive Director Family Resource and Referral Center (FRRC) continues to

play a vital role in San Joaquin County’s economic health. The

$26 million dollars in child care payments dispersed into the

community by the organization enables parents to work while

their children learn and local businesses to thrive. Connecting

parents to quality child care that meets the needs of the family

remains at the core of FRRC’s mission.

Major accomplishments for the 2013-14 Fiscal Year included:

completing a merger with Charterhouse Center for Families;

successfully operating the Teen Impact Center in partnership with

the City of Stockton for the third year and renegotiating the

contract for future years; and expanding to provide Head Start

Child Development Services.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the organization,

thank you to our community partners for continued collaborations

that result in positive outcomes for the children and families we

mutually serve.

In partnership, Kay G. Ruhstaller

FRRC’s Teen Impact Center~A Success Story The greatest demonstration of the Teen Impact Center’s (TIC)

success is evidenced by five youth who came to the Center through

different paths and now work for FRRC.

♦ Jenny Kuan, an Edison High School graduate, was on the first Teen

Advisory Council after the Center reopened in partnership with FRRC.

A fourth-year student at UOP majoring in Psychology, Jenny works at

the TIC as a Teen Center Assistant.

♦ Jose Cuevas, a Chavez High graduate, came to the TIC through a

Back 2 BAC (Back to Believing & Changing Stockton) event in

partnership with the YMCA. Jose works as a Teen Center Aide and

attends San Joaquin Delta College.

♦ Gabe Delao originally came to the TIC to play in a handball

tournament and was then drawn into the recording studio, writing and

recording approximately 30 songs at the Center. After graduating

from Edison High, and as a result of the positive growth he exhibited

at the Center, Gabe was hired to work at FRRC’s Robinhood office and

plans to enroll in classes at San Joaquin Delta College.

♦ Mariah Harris and Ana Villagomez, graduates of Venture Academy

and Stagg High, respectively, started working at the Center via

WorkNET as TIC Aides learning valuable leadership and job skills.

Success begets success . . . and our dream is to continue building

on our successes here!
