Solano/Napa EAC - Service To The Community
Service To The Community
The Solano/Napa EAC distributes funds to community or public
organizations that assist individuals in finding or preparing for jobs.
In the last few years, we have focused on programs for youth:
In November 2006 the EAC donated $2500 to the Napa County Office of
Education's Workplace Learning Academy. This program serves students
from the Juvenile Court System and the Community Schools. It is
designed to provide employable construction skills that students can
use upon graduation from high school.
