CAUSES
Southeast Ventura County YMCA
With a focus on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, strengthening communities is the Y’s cause. At the Y, they believe that lasting personal and social change happens when we all work together. Every day they work side-by-side with their neighbors to make sure that everyone–regardless of age, income or background–has the opportunity to be healthy, confident, connected and secure. When you give to the Y, you are funding life-changing programs that help thousands of children, adults and families to learn, grow and thrive in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.
Kiwanis Club of Thousand Oaks Foundation
The Kiwanis Club of Thousand Oaks works directly with youth ages kindergarten through college to teach them to care about their community through hands-on service projects and leadership training. Early in life these youth gain a servant’s heart, compassion and confidence ensuring they can positively shape the future. Additionally, Kiwanis provides scholarships to local high school students seeking higher education and supports a multitude of nonprofits with volunteerism and funding in Thousand Oaks and surrounding communities.
