This year, Women’s Center-Youth and Family Services (WCYFS) Promising Pathways program will host its second annual youth event TAY End Game (formerly known as “A Path to Success”) on Thursday, Sept. 5, 2019 at the Teen Impact Center from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. Youth are encouraged to attend. Come enjoy a day of fun, food, activities and more. This event will feature a live music performance by local jazz, rock and soul band Seven23. There will be resources and opportunities in Education, Employment, Housing, Personal Effectiveness and Well-being, and Community Involvement and Volunteering. Youth who participate in all the activities can enter to win amazing raffle prizes. The ‘end game’ for youth who are transitioning to adulthood is to learn, grow and thrive.

WCYFS is San Joaquin County’s primary provider of free, confidential shelter and services specifically designed to meet the needs of homeless and runaway youth and victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. WCYFS has been providing services and programs for homeless, runaway and at-risk youth in San Joaquin County for more than 40 years. Annually, WCYFS serves nearly 20,000 individuals through its direct services and community outreach, including more than 600 victims, youth and their children who stay in their shelters.

The vision is to shift the conversation and culture, and truly transition the community from surviving to thriving. For questions or additional information, call (209) 941-2611.
