Looking back on last year, I’m humbled to see what was accomplished at�FCF in one year’s time. In 2006, we reaffirmed our mission and began our�first strategic planning process. It was last year, that we had the highest fund-�ing and personnel resources, enabling us to offer more services to empower�our children and their families. It was last year that we had a chance to assist�other small organizations to grow so we can all better serve our community.�No matter what accomplishments have been made, our Board, volunteers�and staff remain dedicated to honoring our record of effectiveness while�maintaining our history of integrity and exceptional services for the people we�serve.�

In 2007, we move forward with a well defined mission - to empower children�and families to achieve productive self-reliant lives. We move toward the�unforeseen challenges and opportunities that await us. I’m looking forward to�another successful year for the Fresno Covenant Foundation, but the�true measure of that success will come as more parents have a chance to�see their children realize their own� . In 2007, I invite you to continue�with us on this journey of developing potential and hope for the children in�our community.�

The Fresno Covenant Foundation’s first program was our literacy tutoring�program. The program started in 1999 with 30 students and has grown to over�500 students daily. It is common for children to enroll in the program who are�1-5 grade levels behind. The goal of the tutoring program is for a child who is�enrolled in the program for 6 months or longer, to improve by at least 1 grade�level in reading and comprehension. To monitor their progress, each child's�reading level is assessed every nine weeks.�

People from all adult generations come to one of our tutoring sites to read with�children. The goal is to give children the individual and small group help they�need to improve and be able to read at grade level. Volunteers can work with a�child 1-4 times per week, for 1-2 hours (based on the volunteer’s availability).�FCF operates five tutoring sites throughout Fresno, five days per week, for�three hours per day.�

Based on FCF’s experience�working with struggling read-�ers, FCF (with the guidance�and support of teachers and�reading specialists) created a�curriculum that is available for�use by the tutors.�

T u t o r i n g �P r o g r a m �

• In 2006, over 700 children were enrolled�in FCF’s tutoring program.�

• 70% of the children who were enrolled for�6 months or longer improved by at least 1�grade level in reading.�

7�


Child success is the goal of all of FCF programs and the Parent Involvement�Program was designed based on research which shows greater parental�involvement correlates with student achievement and success. The Parent�Involvement Program works with parents on practical educational issues that�they encounter when their child is struggling in school. Parents learn how to�navigate the school system, how to work with their child’s teacher, and how�to create a home environment that will help their child learn. We work with�parents through classes, workshops, one-on-one meetings, and in-home�visits.�The centerpiece of The Parent Involvement Program is an RV (recreational�vehicle) that was transformed into a mobile classroom. This classroom on�wheels allows us to provide training in locations convenient for parents, such�as apartment complexes, churches, supermarkets, and other non-profit�organizations. Our parent trainers are also sent to a variety of locations�throughout Fresno and provide workshops in parents’ native languages.�

Since 2003 The Parent Involvement�Program has been funded by a federal�grant. 2007 will be the final year of�federal funding for this program. FCF�plans to continue the needed program�through other streams of funding from�both grants and community support.�

P a r e n t �I n v o l v e m e n t �

• In 2006, The Parent Involvement Program,�was evaluated by CREAD (a research firm of�California State University, Fresno). Children�of the 13,000 parents who have participated�in the program (from 2003-2006) on average�scored significantly better on their English�Language Arts and Mathematics standard-�ized test scores than those children of�parents who have not attended our training.�

E a r l y �C h i l d h o o d �

“�A parent is a child’s first teacher” is the philosophy of FCF’s Early Childhood�Education program. FCF uses PAT (Parents As Teachers) for the Early Child-�hood Education Program. PAT is a nationally-recognized, research-based�program, deemed an effective program for children aged zero to five years�and their parents.�

This program was started when it was recognized that the children in the�tutoring program wouldn’t be as far behind if they had started learning before�they started school.�

This Early Childhood Education program includes home visits, group�meetings, and health screenings, with curriculum that focuses on educating�

parents about their children’s�development. This program�focuses mainly on nurturing young�children and educating their�parents.�

• In 2006, 200 children ages 0-5 were en-�rolled in the Fresno Covenant Foundation�early childhood education program.�

• FCF’s staff conducted 2,139 home visits for�families with children 0-5 years old, to mentor�the parents on how to help their child’s�development and prepare the children to start�school.�

9�


FCF’s Health Program was expanded in 2006 with funds from California�Endowment. FCF conducted a Community Health Assessment with the par-�ents we work with, in the Fresno and Firebaugh communities. The purpose�was to identify areas of health concern most prevalent within these house-�holds, for the purpose of raising awareness and promoting health advocacy�within their own families and communities.�FCF is also conducting research on adolescent overweight/obesity in an�attempt to reduce ineffective parenting strategies, thus increasing practical�knowledge about how to prevent unhealthy eating habits.�Poor health can easily harm a child’s education, but is often overlooked as a�cause of drain on a child’s energy, attention span and brain function. From�this program and future research, FCF plans to build our capacity�

to more effectively respond to�community health concerns by�addressing the identified needs�and becoming a leader in�changing unhealthy behaviors�among the children and families in�our community.�

H e a l t h �E d u c a t i o n �A n d R e s e a r c h �

• In 2006, FCF completed a comprehen-�sive, Community Needs Health Assess-�ment.�

• FCF was highlighted in the� study as an organization that is�

actively providing health education to�promote healthy lifestyles among families�in Fresno.�

10�


C o l l e g e P r e p �

• 60 High School Freshmen signed up to�participate in the College Prep Program.�

• In 2006, the Fresno Covenant Foundation�took students to tour Fresno Pacific�College, California State University, Fresno,�University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA),�and Stanford University.�

The College Preparation Program is one of Fresno Covenant Foundation’s�newest programs. Through this program we provide high school freshmen at�Firebaugh High School with practical, hands-on workshops and activities in�preparing for college. The students named their club - The Eagles College�Club. Activities include career planning, guest speakers, and field trips to col-�leges and universities. The goal of the College Preparation Program is to in-�crease the number of students who go on to attend college.�

In September, FCF brought motivational speakers Richard Santana and�Guillermo Lopez from “Homeboy Goes to Harvard Productions” to�Firebaugh High School to speak to the students about the importance of col-�lege. Using personal stories and struggles, Richard, a former gang member�who changed his life around and went on to get his Masters Degree from�

Harvard, encouraged the�students to stay in school�and attend college.�

May 1-21, Fresno Covenant Foundation was blessed by the very�generous effort of Scott and Liesl Garner, owners of Garner Tree Services,�who launched the Tree of Knowledge Book Drive to collect books for the�children of the FCF tutoring program. With support from the Women’s�Chamber of Commerce, Citi Financial, Grandma’s All Natural Vegetable�and Herb Nursery, an entire group of Mary Kay representatives, the school�children of Mickey Cox Elementary in Clovis, the Fresno Falcons and�countless others, 8,736 books were collected to give to the children in the�tutoring program. Through this effort, we were able to provide 15 books�for each of the 500 students we tutor, to take home and keep. Not only�were we able to collect books for our children, the drive also brought some�wonderful attention from our local media. FCF’s programs were high-�lighted on the radio, on television, and in Bill McEwen’s column in The�Fresno Bee. This kind of positive media attention does amazing things for�our organization, our fundraising efforts, and our ongoing drive to bring in�new volunteers. Our most sincere appreciation goes out to the Garners�and all those who participated to help support FCF.�

In June, the Fr�e�sno Covenant Foundation (FCF) celebrated a special�occasion. Our Executive Director, Luis Santana, turned 50 and we�celebrated in a big way. All donations made in honor of Luis were doubled�by an anonymous donor. Luis’ birthday was celebrated with a dinner,�dance, live and silent auction, all to benefit the FCF tutoring program.�Despite the 108 degree heat, a great crowd turned out and over $50,000�was raised in honor of Luis’ birthday. Thank you to everyone who braved�the heat and came out in support.�

The most important part of the evening was having a chance to turn the�spotlight on Luis and honor him for the tremendous contribution he’s�made to our community. Luis has dedicated his life to empowering�people. In the 7 ½ years that FCF has been in existence, Luis’ expertise�and his vision has taken FCF from a small tutoring program with 30�children, to a well respected organization that has served over 3,000�children and over 10,000 parents in the greater Fresno area. Because of�Luis’ emphasis on results, the Fresno Covenant Foundation has been�recognized by the White House Initiative on Faith and Community Based�Organizations, and the United States Department of Education. Chairman�Eric Johnson and the Board of Directors surprised Luis by presenting him�with Fresno Covenant Foundation’s first ever Donald G. Larson Award for�Excellence.�

A�Tribute�to a�

Dear Friend�T�he word hero is a term that is used very�

loosely in our day. The media portrays many kinds of�heroes, from the person who rescues a kitty from a�tree, to a solder killed in service in Iraq. A hero’s�definition can vary from generation to generation and�person to person. Sometimes, politicians,�soldiers, firefighters, police officers, doctors, nurses�and teachers make up a hero’s list for a middle age�or senior person. A famous sports player, a rap singer�and sometimes a gang leader tend to make the�hero’s list of most of our younger generations. Par-�ents are mentioned less and less as heroes. The�definition of a true hero is getting blurred as time goes�on. For me, a hero is someone who I can look up to�as model of a person I want to emulate.�In 2006, I lost a hero in my life, my dear friend�Eleanor Swenson. I met Eleanor when she was just�77 years young. Most of us consider this a good age�to begin slowing down, but not Eleanor. In the last 15�years she taught me more about how to live than I�had learned in my previous 35 years. This past Feb-�ruary, one month short of her 92�nd� birthday, was when�she was called to meet her Maker.�Eleanor was an amazing person, up to the very end.�Eleanor’s memory seemed to get even better with�age. At age 89, she decided that a typewriter wasn’t�for her any more, and she went out and bought a�

computer and learned how to use it! Eleanor drove her�own car and lived in her house by herself until the end�of her life.�In hindsight, I wish I had told her more how much I�appreciated all I learned from her and with her. She�wasn’t rich but she believed in the work of Fresno�Covenant Foundation (FCF) and is the person who�made the largest financial donation, although I never�asked her for any donation. Eleanor was a teacher who�loved teaching but decided to take early�retirement to take care of her elderly mother until the�end. At age 85 she became a tutor at FCF. Math was�her favorite subject. After a few years tutoring FCF’s�children, she needed to have a second hip surgery,�making it impossible for her to drive to FCF. I told her�that it was probably time to stop tutoring her 6�th� grade�student, but giving up was not in Eleanor’s�vocabulary. She decided to continue tutoring this girl�at her home. Within six months Eleanor had brought�the girl to her grade level in math. Later on, I learned�from the girl’s mother that Eleanor provided much�more than math skills to her daughter.�In the last two years, Eleanor took the role of my�advisor. She had a soft voice forcing me to listen�attentively for her wisdom. I already miss our long�conversations over a cup of coffee and a plate of�delicious Swedish cookies she made. Farewell my�friend and hero, I will see you again when my Maker�calls me as well. By Luis Santana�

In Loving Memory of�Eleanor Swenson�
