Today, let\u2019s get to know kidSTREAM<\/a>, a children\u2019s museum under development in Camarillo, Calif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe educate and inspire children allowing them to explore, play, and discover,\u201d says Michael Shanklin, executive director, of the kidSTREAM mission. The organization has been working to open the museum since 2016 and hopes to do so by next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the funds provided by the Yardi team, kidSTREAM has expanded our community access in significant ways. The investment by Yardi allowed us to develop STREAM Learning Kits in Spanish and English,\u201d Shanklin said. \u201cOur most recent kit which highlighted electrical circuits, motors, maker activities, and art were assembled by a group of community volunteers then distributed to farm working families in Oxnard.\u201d The kits were also distributed to children involved in Ventura County Family Justice proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn addition to having the directions in Spanish and English, kidSTREAM filmed children volunteers who explained how to do each step in both Spanish and English by using a QR Code on the instructions. All kits were provided to the children at no cost to the family thanks to Yardi!,\u201d Shanklin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, work to open the museum continues. kidSTREAM is working to secure the museum building from the city of Camarillo, design exhibits hire staff and raise funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur 2020-2023 Strategic Plan has five prioritized initiatives: 1. Open the Museum, 2. Be financially sustainable, 3. Establish community partnerships, 4. Create excellent programs and exhibits, and finally, 5. Become a community leader,\u201d outlined Shanklin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He singled out the support of Yardi and a longtime Yardi employee who has joined the kidSTREAM board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are humbled by the Yardi team\u2019s generosity which has allowed us to provide meaningful STREAM kits so that ALL children can explore, play, and discover!  We are also thankful for our Yardi Board member, Wendy Acevedo-Solis, who has been instrumental in connecting us with local farmworker families,\u201d Shanklin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer opportunities in Southern California<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yardi team members in SoCal, kidSTREAM needs help to assemble STREAM kits and distribute them to local families working in Ventura County agriculture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yardi teammates can connect with Michael Shanklin (michael.shanklin@kidstream.org<\/a> or 661-289-1369 cell) to arrange a time to help us help the community.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
