Along with the District administrative and governance teams, every individual campus is considered a crucial, cooperative, and active Youth Center partner. Disseminating program information to the students, hosting Elementary After School Music and facilitating the Every 15 Minutes program is only a small sample of the school district’s commitment to The Youth Center.
In 1960 the City of Los Alamitos was officially incorporated. Since this time, The Youth Center has worked closely with its leadership to insure proper delivery of programs important to our community. When the current Community Center complex (Community Center, Youth Center and Gymnasium) was built, The Youth Center joined with the city and school district in providing initial development funds. Since that time an important, unique and symbiotic relationship has existed between the three organizations.
In 1990, Rossmoor Community Services District began to underwrite The Youth Center’s Summer Day Camp to provide productive youth activities in Rossmoor. Now, over 450 children are involved in this summer camp as it has developed into one of the most popular program in the area.
Since 1957, the Rossmoor Homeowners Association (RHA) has been advocating for Rossmoor residents and engaging and supporting the organizations who serve Rossmoor and its residents. The Youth Center programs, and events have been a large part of the Rossmoor Community since the very beginning. The RHA is proud to work with, support, and promote The Youth Center and its ongoing mission to transform children’s lives one family at a time.
