On Monday, November 18, at the Scout House on Sespe Avenue, the youth of the One Step a la Vez Program each stepped up and spoke about the wide variety of programs in which the youth participate as well as the number of youth that attend. They are served two meals a day (lunch and dinner), have counseling and health care services available through Ventura County Behavioral Health, the Health Care Agency and Public Health. Youth on probation get job skills, academic support through support from the VC Probation Agency. In the Adelante Program the youth advocate to improve the community. In the Conocimiento Means Building Knowledge Program in which the youth participate in a youth prevention-based program that makes use of community collaboration process to reduce adverse outcomes in adolescents who are living through adverse childhood experiences by cultivating resilience, they are learning to become leaders, learn the skills to succeed in life and pursue a career, and plan events. Some youth participate in guitar and music classes as well as having a safe place to enjoy after school from 11-7:30 Monday-Friday. They invited everyone to the Fall Festival on November 23 at the One Step a la Vez Center on Sespe Avenue from 1-5. The presentation was well received by the Lions Club members.
