Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Cortes Community Health Association (CCHA) has been offering Youth Programs for more than 15 years. Serene Williams' association goes back to 2009 when, shortly after moving to Cortes Island, she became the Teen Szene Co-ordinator. She married after that and now has two children of her own. They were initially homeschooled but when both of her children registered for the Cortes Island School, in September 2022, Williams became the Youth Programs Manager for the Cortes Community Health Association. “I love it when I am filling in for one of the facilitators for these programs, and I get to go and actually be interacting with groups of kids. I've known most of them since they were toddlers, or babies. I have watched them grow up on Cortes. It is so sweet to watch them interact with each other and watch their creativity and their energy. It's part of why I enjoy my job,” she explained. “What I'm really proud of right now is that this year, the 2023/2024 school year, we have 77 kids in total attending our programs, including 20 from the Cortes Island Academy and 56 from the elementary school. I think that is a phenomenal number for Cortes. We have a large number of the population of Cortes kids attending our programs, which includes home learners also.” “At this point in time, we have 6 program facilitators: Kelly, Lydia, Claudia, Katrina, Steph, and Jasmine. A few of them do more than 1 program. Without great facilitators, we really can't have great programming. So I am so pleased to be able to have our staff going strong and continuing on from year to year.” “Right now, we offer programs for all school age kids from kindergarten to grade 12. All of our programs are drop in, so we never know from week to week who's going to show up, or how many kids they will have. Sometimes the numbers are smaller, sometimes it's bigger, and that creates some challenges just to be able to manage the group of kids and their particular dynamics.” “We have five programs at this point.”

“We must work towards a world where plastic pollution is unthinkable” — Capt. Charles Moore When you scan your home, you’d probably find a lot of plastic packaging everywhere. We try to reduce our plastic consumption but it’s quite hard when business entities are using it on the products that we’re consuming daily. For real change to happen, we need laws that’ll require producers and manufacturers to create “sustainable packaging” instead of producing linear/single-use goods. And so, a bill was proposed in California that calls for the reduction of single-use plastics and total phaseout by 2030. Ultimately, this will help consumers to live a life free of plastics. In this episode, you’re going to meet Doshi, the Gnarly Beach Cleaner who is positively spreading awareness about ocean plastic pollution! He is an Education Coordinator from Algalita, an organization that has been at the forefront of the “Great Plastic Awakening”, inspiring the youth to believe that a better future is possible when we all work hand in hand. Today we will focus on the Californian Circular Economy and Plastic Reduction act that targets plastic reduction. Doshi will also share the side effects of single-use products and how he is passionately educating the public, especially the youth, about plastic pollution issues, and how we can all contribute and create solutions. In this Episode, We Discuss: What’s going on behind the plastic industry curtain The great plastic awakening How the Algalita Foundation was created Trash Island: The great pacific garbage patch Creating a new system that’ll allow us to live in a more sustainable world Looking at nature and it’s steady-state economy Proposing the Senate Bill (SB-54) and Assembly Bill (AB 1080) to reduce single-plastic use Algalita’s mission and purpose How to get more involved in activities and work that benefits our planet The difference between Algalita’s Academic Program and Leadership Program Get to know Michael Doshi: Doshi is the Gnarly Beach Cleaner who’s on a mission to spread awareness about ocean plastic pollution in a positive and jolly way!
