Empowering YOuth and families
The Shafter Youth Center provides education, enrichment and community services for youth and families with the support of volunteers, partners and mentors. Children find a welcoming, safe environment in after school, Learning Pod and summer youth programs. They are able to learn how to make a healthy meal, play a new sport, create art, participate in online learning, receive tutoring services and build friendships.
The Shafter Youth Center (SYC) was established in December 2003, thanks to a $1.3 million grant from the California Youth Authority and a $249,000 match from the City of Shafter along with 1 acre of land to build the SYC. Each day, youth are empowered to live healthier lives through programs.
The youth center serves as a community hub where nearby residents connect with food distributions, free tax assistance services, family engagement training, mentoring and other resources that assist them in building healthier families.
