ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We would like to thank all the individuals and agencies that contributed to this evaluation report. We thank the South County Youth Task Force (SCYTF) Coordinator, Bernice Cuauhxihuitl Aguilera Toney for her dedication, support and contribution to the design and structure of the report.

All South County ONE-funded programs participated in the evaluation, including distributing and collecting surveys, and hosting our team for site visits and focus group meetings. Their active participation in the evaluation and their commitment to the youth, families and communities they serve is key to the success of this report. The partnering school districts, Gilroy Unified School District and Morgan Hill School District, both provided school data that was instrumental in the completion of this report; we extend our deep gratitude for their willingness to share data. Local law enforcement, Gilroy Police Department and Morgan Hill Police Department, are both working with the evaluation team to track data that can be used for future reporting of population results; their partnership towards this endeavor is demonstrative of true collaboration and we are grateful for their efforts.

We would also like to thank the South County Youth Task Force Policy Team and Technical Team members who we name on pages 5-10 of this report.

Finally, we thank the children and youth of the cities of Gilroy and Morgan Hill, their parents, caregivers, teachers, community members and service providers who support them so that they can be resilient, empowered, aware, connected, and healthy community members and so that collectively, South County is One Neighborhood Empowered.
