We believe one thing - that together we create our community.
Our aim is simple: to globally bring people, businesses and charities together and help provide access to discrete volunteering opportunities with existing charitable and volunteer organisations and where people can volunteer with their friends. In short, helping make volunteering an easy, fun and social activity. These sorts of activities could support anything from child cancer research, to the local tennis club, to environmental causes, to efforts to assist the underprivileged etc etc. They are all important and they all make a difference!
Since our inception in September 2012 we have grown to have 21 Chapters in 8 countries and thus our growth has been significant but are just the first steps towards realising our vision of making volunteering a global norm!

Quoting the words of Dr. Seuss, we have many exciting plans for Young Horizons as we move into our new year. In this time of great change and a difficult political climate, we can rest assured on one fact, we will continue to provide the high-quality early care and education to the children in our centers in a caring, loving and learning environment. Although we do not know what changes lie ahead, we will continue to advocate and educate policymakers on the issues that affect families.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

1. Community Child Care Council
(4C’s) of Alameda County
ANNUAL REPORT 2013
Dedicated to
strengthening children,
families and child care
providers since 1972
2. Letter from 4C’s Board President & Executive Director
Dear 4C’s Friend,
We are pleased to present Community Child Care Council (4C’s) of Alameda
County’s 2013 Annual Report.
As a leading nonprofit family resource agency, 4C’s helps to build a healthy
community by providing child care referrals, education, nutrition services
and child care payment assistance for the community. We also support local
child care providers with free and low cost training, business counseling, and
professional development to improve the quality of child care services within
Alameda County. So, what does all this mean? It means:
• 4C’s Resource and Referral program provides free referrals that are
customized, personalized, and informative, helping parents make the best
choice of care for their children.
• Our Child Health and Nutrition program provides training to licensed
family child care providers in preparing meals with more key ingredients,
and fewer servings of fats and sweets. Serving healthy meals aids children’s
cognitive and physical development, promoting school readiness.
• Through the Child Care Payment programs low income families receive the
necessary support to get and maintain employment which helps stabilize
their family, and, the employer has an employee focused on their work.
• At 4C’s Bright Future Early Learning Center, parents have peace of
mind knowing their children are in the educated and nurturing hands of
dedicated teachers who are passionate about their work with children.
All of this results in stronger children, families and child care providers who
enrich the community around them. On the opposite page see what parents
and providers are saying about the difference 4C’s services made for them in
2013.
As a friend of 4C’s, we value your support and encourage you to invest in
our work by making a financial contribution. The need for our services has
increased over the last several years of economically challenging times. Please
use the enclosed envelope or visit our website, www.4c-alameda.org, to
make a secure online donation. Just click on the “Donate Now” button. Your
donation will be used wisely to provide program services for children and
families.
We hope you will enjoy reading 4C’s 2013 Annual Report and look forward
to your support of 4C’s mission, “to develop and coordinate resources to
strengthen families and children”.

What People Are Saying
About 4C’s...
“We are thrilled with the growth
of our daughter while in the care
of the Bright Future family. The
staff has been a joy to partner
with in her development. Their
genuine care and consistent
guidance gives us piece of mind
that our daughter is thriving
during the most important years
of her life.”
IN2013
“I initially walked into 4C’s office six
years ago, and I lacked hope, resources,
family support, and steady income.
4C’s had compassionate people who
provided a stepping stone to lead me
where I am today, steadily employed,
feeling great about my family’s
future...4C’s helped me envision a
positive outlook on what things were
possible.”
