CLEARLAKE, Calif. — Hope Rising’s cradle to career initiative, Smart Start | Bright Future has launched Lake County’s first-ever partner-driven After-School Hub.

“That is what the Smart Start | Bright Future initiative is all about. It is about collaboration, partnership and lifting each other up as a community,” said Faith Hornby, Hope Rising executive director.

The After-School Hub officially launched on Oct. 11 at the Burns Valley Elementary School in the city of Clearlake in the Konocti Unified School District.

The Smart Start After-School Hub is designed to provide in-depth, enriching experiences for Burns Valley K-7th grade students.

“To be engaged in school, the students have to want to come to school, so they need a safe place to go after school to get excited about the next day of learning,” said Becky Salato, Konocti Unified superintendent.

The Smart Start After-School Hub is just one of the four-pillars that make up the Smart Start | Bright Future initiative.

The Smart Start | Bright Future initiative kicked off in June 2021 with its first two pillars, the Smart Start Eligibility Wizard and Smart Start Navigator.

The Smart Start Eligibility Wizard, created in partnership with First 5 Lake County, helps parents and caregivers identify services and programs their children are eligible to receive.

The Smart Start Navigator is Courtney Parker from the Lake Family Resource Center. She provides education and resources to new mothers with children ages 0-5 and/or pregnant women in Lake County.

This initiative continues to support the youth in Lake County from birth to graduation and beyond.

The next step will be to launch in January the fourth pillar, 10,000 Degrees, is a nationally recognized leader in supporting students from low-income backgrounds to and through college and beyond. This program will be implemented at Lower Lake High School.

This initiative is made possible by the Founders Circle and Hope Rising sponsors. The Founders Circle includes Adventist Health Clearlake, Redwood Credit Union, Senator Mike McGuire’s office and the John Jordan Foundation.

The mission for Hope Rising Lake County is to mobilize and inspire community partnerships and actions that support individual, collective and community health and wellness.
