About GOALS For Valadez

GOALS has established a 5 day per week after school initiative in
partnership with the Placentia Yorba Linda Unified School
District. The initiative is called “GOALS for Valadez” (GFV).
The program operates from 3:15 PM to 6:15 PM on all school
days.
GFV is based at the Valadez Middle School Academy - 161
East La Jolla Ave, Placentia, CA 92870. The school telephone is
714-986-7440.
The GFV program features daily sports and fitness activities, homework help, nutritional snack time,
special GOALS curriculum, math/computer lab, and a weekly film screening typically oriented around
inspirational or legendary sports or social figures. A weekly field trip to GOALS venues such as the
GOALS Dreamscape, Anaheim ICE or GOALS Gardens facility is also offered. Everything
including the equipment, uniforms, bus transportation, coaching and educational support is provided at
no charge.
It is expected that 150 to 200 teens will be involved throughout the year as they gain substantial
academic, athletic and social enrichment through this program. All coaching, teaching, facility access,
equipment, materials, daily nutritional snack, and bus transportation will be provided through GOALS
at no cost to participating youngsters or their families. A sign-up form is distributed prior to
registration and is available through school and after school program offices. Total daily participation
is capped at 140 daily members. However, if immediate participation is not possible, an interested
youngster’s name will be placed on a waiting list which will enable participation should another
student withdraw or fail to meet after school attendance or performance standards. Participants must
attend a minimum of 3 after school sessions each week totaling 9 hours of enrichment. GOALS
encourages all enrolled students to attend 5 days per week after school.
Support for GFV comes partially from the State of Ca. Dept of Education After School Education &
Safety program (ASES). In 2009 GOALS received the prestigious “Partners in Educational
Excellence” award from the Association of California School Administrators.
The GFV represents a substantial expansion of GOALS program support to this particularly underserved
community in the City of Placentia (La Jolla) where GOALS had previously provided after school support
once to twice weekly in past years through weekly GOALS classes and field trips.
College internships and volunteer participation support are welcome to supplement a daily GOALS
staff commitment involving coaching sports, math lab, homework help and other activities.
