We provide safe places filled with enriching programs and caring adult mentors who actively foster a sense of belonging and connection to ensure that our youth feel supported and valued. Our programs focus on academics, recreation, art, music, career exploration, health/wellness, and character development for youth ages 6-18. Our downtown Santa Cruz, Live Oak, and Scotts Valley Clubhouses are open five days-a-week after school, on many holidays, and during the summer months when kids need a safe, fun and positive place to go. In addition, we host summer and holiday day camps and offer a wide range of special interest programs that include art, music, swim lessons, a basketball league and a surf club.
