Southeast Ventura County YMCA

The funds will be used to ensure local YMCA programs and memberships are available to those in financial need and to enhance YMCA programs.

Founder of Safe Passage Youth Foundation Tim Hagel is the keynote speaker.

A virtual parent orientation will be held Thursday, May 4 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The May 4 prayer breakfast will include speakers, spiritual and community leaders providing invocations and prayers, and live musical performances.

Kids can participate in rock wall climbing, face painting, a boat-building contest, a dunk tank and arts and crafts.

Its goal is to raise $200,000 by March 22 so the Y can continue to offer its programs to those in need.

The 10-week program gives participants an opportunity to discuss international issues, discover other cultures, develop life-enhancing skills and meet new friends from across California.

Southeast Ventura County YMCA branches are taking early registrations for their summer day camps.

The scholarships are awarded in memory of Carter Stone, an incoming freshman at Agoura High who passed away unexpectedly just before the start of the school year and after making the football team.

This is the ninth year that the YMCA delegation, comprised of Newbury Park high school students, has volunteered to make lunches.
