Sonoma Valley Good Works

Sonoma Impact100, a local organization just formed in 2009 has membership of over 150 women  each promising to give $1,000 to form a $100,000 grant to be given to a Valley nonprofit each year. The remaining money raised goes to community grants.

 This year's recipient of the $100,000 grant is Teen Services. Teen Services runs the No Name Café at Sonoma Valley High School, where students train to become baristas and gain an understanding of the food service industry, from making drinks to handling cash. The kids working at the cafe also learn about customer service and good people skills. 

 As a Sonoma photographer and also a member of SonomaImpact100, I have been doing some of the photography for the presentations that the Teen Services will provide to the community.
