Change Makers Award Dinner
Since 1995, the Youth Alliance (YA), a 501c3 nonprofit organization, has provided free prevention and intervention programs, including after school enrichment and counseling services to children, youth, and families in need. It is because of the generous support we receive from the community, that we are able to continue to make a difference in reaching and effecting change within the hundreds of children and teens we serve each day in San Benito and Santa Clara Counties. You can be part of the Change Maker community by joining us at Fortino Winery in Gilroy on Saturday, May 30th, 2015, for our “Youth Alliance Change Makers” celebration.
This evening event will feature live entertainment, dinner, dancing, and celebration of a community member for his/her outstanding work helping effect change and creating a more peaceful community for youth; as well as raise critical funds to sustain our outreach and highly needed youth support services.
