COMPACT realized that in order to best support the youth of North San Diego, we needed to ensure that the youth were healthy and safe. The COMPACT Board approved this expanded vision and supported the Executive Director in her efforts to identify funding and build partnerships to do just that. Our many years of experience in working with youth and their families positioned us to make this a seamless transition into providing this new focus-area services and support. This has been demonstrated through our partnership with the Escondido Police Department to offer Juvenile Diversion Services, Escondido Union School District thru the CARE Youth Project to provide case management services, previous partnership with Vista Community Clinic to offer HIV/AIDS health education and most recently the County of San Diego, as part of the “Live Well San Diego” Initiative; as the North Inland, San Diego County CX3 provider. The CX3 Project – Communities of Excellence in Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Prevention, is a program planning framework that includes taking an in-depth look at communities to identify areas in need of improvement. Then in 2013 as a subcontractor to Interfaith Community Services, Family Self-Sufficiency Contract with the County of San Diego, HHSA; became the SNAP Ed Provider. The program provides Health Education thru workshops, food demonstrations and community events for North Inland San Diego County. The establishment of the Palomar Health Community Coalition Escondido, thru federal Drug-Free Communities grants to establish and strengthen community collaboration in support of local efforts to prevent youth substance use and to create an environment that makes it easier for people to act in healthy ways. Most recently, the addition of Safe Routes to School and Bike/Walk to create a safer and healthier community through establishing partnerships that emphasize the accessibility of complete streets that are safer, more livable and welcoming to everyone; especially for youth to and from school. An important component of Safe Routes was the Intergenerational Program which aimed to integrate local active older adults and youth in a variety of activities, such as Walk & Bike to School Day. Along with the vision of creating safe passages to and from school, COMPACT is currently working with the Escondido Police Department to oversee and administer the crossing guard program; which includes 18 locations throughout the Escondido Union School District.
