Abstract
The problem this author has identified is that there is no printed community service directory for Yolo County. In order to provide a printed directory to fill this gap, the author recognizes that there are two purposes for this project. The first purpose of this project is to develop a comprehensive community service directory in the Yolo County area in both Spanish and English for community members in Yolo County seeking local resources. The community service directory will provide access to local resources for Yolo County members without internet access or computer skills. The second purpose of this project is to develop a grant proposal for funding to have the directory printed and distributed. Sources of data for the development of this project included a review of related literature in vocational rehabilitation counseling; community resources, case management, and rural area literature; journal articles, books, and internet sites detailing research and studies related to Yolo County; unpublished masters’ projects and theses, and agency handouts and pamphlets. The author also consulted Yolo County agency and non-profit organizations representatives through email, telephone and in-person interviews and meetings. A Community Service Directory for Yolo County was developed in both Spanish and English to provide a list of local services for Yolo County members. A grant proposal for funds to have the directory published and distributed was also developed.
