Youth Discovering Opportunities
During the Summer of 2019, about a dozen intrepid individuals embarked on a journey of self-discovery, and learning real world things, like Voting, Dressing for Success, soap making and other activities. They wrapped up this program with a graduation attended by Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula and other dignitaries, and what they gained were new friends and new skills.
