Youth Department
Welcome to Our Youth Department
At Presa Community Center, our Youth Department is dedicated to empowering and inspiring the next generation. We provide a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where young people can grow, learn, and thrive.
Our mission is to foster creativity, build confidence, and develop skills that set children and teens up for success in school and beyond. Whether it’s exploring new interests, making friends, or discovering their potential, every child who joins our program has the opportunity to grow.
With access to versatile facilities – including a spacious outdoor pavilion, playground, kitchen, and well-equipped classroom – our youth programs offer a wide range of activities and opportunities for learning and recreation.
