Raising Voices, One Story at a Time. Annual Report 2019-2020 Our Mission Raising Voices, One Story at a Time. Annual Report 2019-2020 Our Mission Young Storytellers sparks creative self-discovery through storytelling. Our programs highlight young people as the center of their own narratives, emphasize that their stories matter, and celebrate their unique voices as the ones telling them. In elementary school, we use storytelling to help young people explore their creativity and imagination. In middle school, we use storytelling to explore their goals for the future and what challenges might stand in their way. In high school, we use storytelling to explore the impact their voice can have in their community - and, more broadly, the world. Young Storytellers works towards a future where young people experience the impact that their thoughts, feelings, and words can have on the world in which they live. Our programs act as a tool to convene the necessary elements in any community to facilitate connection between young people, the general population, and the schools that act as a central hub of growth and activity. We raise voices, one story at a time. Young Storytellers is where... People Connect Everyone Plays Genuine connection between Play with a purpose allows participants people requires empathy and to engage with wonder and investigate sensitivity.

We serve young Storytellers fosters exploration of the people and adults by cultivating an open self and the world in which we live, while community where everyone gives of empowering our community to tell their themselves and speaks fully from their stories. unique perspectives. Why it Matters The world that young people operate in today is more complex, economically competitive, and interconnected than at any other time in human history. To ensure that students are fully prepared to meet the demands of the 21st Century, we believe that the academic knowledge that schools impart must be matched by a commitment to developing social and emotional skills and competencies. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is multifaceted and often difficult to teach in traditional classroom settings, but is without question essential to developing a young person’s ability to recognize and manage emotions, build relationships, solve interpersonal problems, and make effective and ethical decisions. The arts, which engage multiple learning modalities and are uniquely powerful when applied to SEL goals, are chronically underfunded and often the first to be cut when budgets tighten. Young Storytellers programming is designed to act as a tool for educators to more deeply engage students who might be struggling or could use the extra attention a one-on-one mentor provides. We use the arts - specifically creative writing and live performance - as a way for young people to develop themselves. Script to Stage STORYTELLING TO EXPLORE CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION. 95% of teachers This semester-long, Common Core-aligned elementary noticed an school program places students with an adult mentor one- improvement in the on-one to write scripts that are entirely their own, then writing skills of their actors perform those for the students and their peers live students. at an assembly. Day of Story STORYTELLING TO GROW EXCITEMENT AND CONNECTION. A condensed version of the Script to Stage program, Day of Story is a one-day, in-school workshop that pairs mentors one-on-one with 4th grade students. The mentors help students create their own story outline along with a descriptive poster. Young Storytellers has run Day of Story workshops with variable sizes of groups (anywhere from 20-100 adult mentors), with corporations such as Disney, U.S. Bank, and Verve. 91% of students are more confident in sharing their creative ideas. Teachers reported that their students showed more mutual respect and understanding for their Story Lab classmates. STORYTELLING AND WRITING TO SUPPORT SELF-EXPLORATION. Story Lab, developed in partnership with Warner Bros. and LAUSD’s Arts Education Branch and Division of Instruction, delivers original curriculum to sixth-grade middle school students that focuses on core storytelling skills while reinforcing confidence, empathy, and personal voice through self-reflection and creativity. Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment lent the use of its DC Super Heroes as a tool to get students to think about heroes in their lives and their own “superpowers.” Middle School Monologues 80% of STORYTELLING TO UNDERSTAND GOALS students felt that the AND NAVIGATE OBSTACLES. program helped them consider the feelings A mixture of adult mentorship and views of others. and collective exploration, students in our middle school program work collaboratively with a group mentor to create monologues about challenges they face and then work with actors who later perform those pieces. High School PSAs STORYTELLING TO EXPLORE ISSUES AND IMPACT. 96% of students Students in our high school program write public service announcements (or better understood PSA scripts) in groups to address an important issue facing their self-identified how to influence communities.

Sleepy Hollow Homeowners Association May 3, 2013 Board of Supervisors of Marin County 3501 Civil Center Drive San Rafael, CA 94903-4157 Re: Stream Conservation Area (SCA) Proposed Amendments to the Development Code Honorable Members of the Board of Supervisors: INTRODUCTION The Sleepy Hollow Homes Association (SHHA) objects to the proposed changes to Chapters 22.33 (Stream Protection) and 22.63 (Stream Conservation Area Permit) as they would apply to the residents of the unincorporated portion of San Anselmo known as Sleepy Hollow. We ask that the County exempt and/or delay implementation of any changes to Chapters 22.33 and 22.63 as to the city-centered corridor streams, including Sleepy Hollow. The SHHA supports implementation of the proposed amendments to the San Geronimo Valley, to protect wildlife habitat in streams where Coho Salmon currently exist. The SHHA supports regulations to ensure the health and survival of the species in these areas. The SHHA recognizes the urgency of this matter to the San Geronimo Valley, both for the survival of the endangered and declining Coho population and for the property rights of the affected residents who are currently subject to a building moratorium.

That song from Pinocchio, 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' is the perfect summary of Walt's approach to life: dream big dreams, even hopelessly impossible dreams, because they really can come true. Sure, it takes work, focus and perseverance. But anything is possible. Walt proved it with the impossible things he accomplished."1 It is well documented that Walt Disney had big dreams and made several large gambles to propel his visions. From the creation of Steamboat Willie in 1928 to the first color feature film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” in 1937, and the creation of Disneyland in Anaheim, CA during the 1950’s, Disney risked his personal assets as well as his studio to build a reality from his dreams. While Walt Disney passed away in the mid 1960’s, his quote, “If you can dream it, you can do it,”2 still resonates in the corporate world and operations of The Walt Disney Company.

    2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders MARCH 18, 2014 Disney Speakers: Bob Iger Chairman and Chief Executive Officer PRESENTATION [VIDEO] Announcer Ladies and Gentlemen, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger. Bob Iger – Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company Good morning, everyone. Good morning. Thank you. I really love that video. It never gets old for me because it says so much about The Walt Disney Company and what Disney means to so many millions and millions of people all over the world. And we're very, very happy to be here in Portland today to talk about the future of our great company. And we're holding this meeting here because Oregon has a lot of Disney shareholders and even more Disney fans and, of course, you also have our duck. Go Ducks, right? How did that happen? Anyway, these are all great reasons to be here to share the many new and exciting things that are happening across our company. Page 1 The Walt Disney Company’s March 18, 2014 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders I started last year's shareholder meeting by proudly announcing that our stock had just reached $60.00 a share for the first time and our market cap had reached $100 billion. Now, lately our stock has been above $80.00 a share and our market cap has been above $140 billion -- I'd call that a great year. Thanks. Now there are three things that drive this kind of success at Disney -- exceptional creativity, constant innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Before the impact of COVID-19, Elena worked in a restaurant kitchen. Due to the economic fallout from the pandemic, she— like tens of millions of people across the country—lost her job. As Elena saw the nutritious food available for her to take home to help feed her family of seven, she smiled, excited about the meals she could prepare amid a devastating time of unemployment and uncertainty. Women like Elena are overrepresented in some of the hardest-hit industries for job loss, including leisure and hospitality, healthcare and education, and women—especially “ Black and Latino women—lost jobs in those sectors I’M VERY at disproportionate rates.

The impact of COVID-19 quickly shattered that.
