ANNUAL REPORT TO OUR COMMUNITY

Supporting children and families in Goleta and Isla Vista

IVYP: Stepping up in every season

Where families come to grow roots since 1971

THIS PAST YEAR has been a year like no other. I am so proud of the way IVYP stepped up to meet the challenges our community faced in the past year. Together, we met the emerging needs of our community while staying true to our values. We believe that we become resilient through healthy relationships. Throughout the year, IVYP nurtured relationships with children, with our families, and with our community partners. We responded, we innovated, we thrived. Thank you for your support as we continue to navigate our uncertain future.

Lori Lander Goodman, MSW Executive Director

From our Executive Director

BY BUILDING A RESILIENT and connected community, IVYP seeks to mitigate the effects of poverty, racism, and trauma so that all children and families can prosper and thrive. We are guided by our values and our vision. They help us to stay resilient, nimble, and adaptive through every season.

We are fl exible and nimble, leveraging resources in order to pursue new opportunities.Creativity…

Over the Summer… IVYP stepped up to support children and families

impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Family Resource

Center distributed food weekly to hungry families. Our

Children’s Center reopened on July 20, 2020 to prepare

students for Kindergarten and in August, re-opened fully.

Our school-aged program launched an innovative virtual

summer program, including mindfulness, academic support,

and fun activities. As an agency we provided digital literacy

training to our staff so that they could better communicate

with caregivers.

In the Fall…elementary school students

returned to school — on

Zoom. We quickly realized

that many students did not have adequate study

space. In response, IVYP purchased and distributed lap desks

so that students would be able to “attend” school comfortably.

The Fall was dominated by our national and local elections.

In order to engage our community in the electoral process,

IVYP conducted a virtual and bilingual candidates forum for

GUSD school board candidates.

We commit to being curious about our impact by challenging assumptions.Curiosity…

We honor identities to create the opportunity for authentic relationships and nurture social justice.Respect…

During Wintertime…we had so many opportunities to address families’ needs in our

community. In December, we began a partnership with Cottage

Hospital to provide COVID education for hard to reach members

of our community. We distributed masks, hand-sanitizer, vitamins

and information in our COVID Prevention Kits.

In February, we launched our

diaper initiative. One in three

California families struggle

to provide clean diapers

for their baby. There are no

Government programs which

help offset the cost of diapers.

Thanks to a partnership with

UCSB, we began providing

fully cooked meals to families

each day. By March, almost

all of our staff had been fully

vaccinated!

We believe that no one person, no one agency can address our community’s problems alone.Collaboration…

By the Spring…we turned our focus to getting our community vaccinated.

In partnership with Cottage Population Health, IVYP trained

Vaccine Health Ambassadors across the region to engage

people in conversations about the COVID-19 vaccine. Our

own health ambassadors fanned out across the community to

encourage every eligible person to become vaccinated.

“In order for children to thrive, they need secure, safe, and stable connections with their caregivers. IVYP’s programs

provide that connection

directly to build family resilience.”
