Fall Into the Fun: September & October Highlights!🎃🤎🌻
As we say goodbye to September and October, we're excited to share some of the wonderful moments, activities, and accomplishments happening throughout the Salesian Family Youth Center! Take a look at what our youth, staff, and community have been up to!
🎃 A Spooktacular Halloween at SFYC! 👻
Halloween was full of fun at SFYC! Our kids enjoyed delicious food, a costume parade, games, and, of course, piñatas! With festive decorations and creative costumes, our annual Halloween party was once again a hit. We hope everyone had a frightfully fun time, and we can't wait for next year's spooky season! 🧡🖤
📰 SHOUT Journalism: A New Chapter Begins!
SFYC proudly welcomes its fourth generation of SHOUT young authors at Roosevelt High School as we begin our sixth book publication! This February, ten students will also travel to Chicago for the Hispanic Leadership Conference, gaining new leadership experiences and sharing their voices and stories beyond Boyle Heights.
⭐️ Partnership Spotlight: Build Up for Kids! ⭐️
We welcomed BuildUpForKids, a non-profit, to SFYC for a fun-filled day of LEGO building and learning! Using recycled LEGOs, the students took on exciting challenges, including working together to build the tallest tower. Along the way, they practiced teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. To top it off, each participant went home with their own LEGO set! It was a new and exciting experience for our youth, and we are grateful to Build Up for Kids for making it possible. Thank you for partnering with us! 💙
🌱 Leadership in Action: Giving Back to Our Community!
Our volunteers came together for a neighborhood street cleanup in partnership with the City’s Beautification Program! Covering the area from the Metro stops to Mariachi Plaza, we cleared fallen leaves, weeds, and litter to help keep Boyle Heights clean and welcoming. It was a wonderful reminder that small acts of service can make a big difference. Together, we take pride in caring for the community we call home! 💚
Look Out! Driver's Ed Has Begun! 🚘
Our Driver’s Ed program at Bravo High School was a great success! Students learned essential traffic rules, driving laws, and road signs while building the knowledge and confidence to become responsible drivers. We are proud to help our students take the next step toward earning their driver’s licenses and gaining independence on the road! 🎉
SHOUT @ Roosevelt High School Updates!
💛 Celebrating Our Salesian Community!
Thanks to SFYC’s support, our Boyle Heights youth enjoyed a fun social gathering hosted by St. Dominic Savio Parish! The event was a wonderful opportunity to build friendships, strengthen community connections, and celebrate our shared Salesian spirit. Through experiences like these, we continue bringing Don Bosco’s mission to life! 🙌
🙏 Youth Ministry: Growing in Faith & Leadership
On October 20, youth from St. Mary’s and St. Isabel led the Novena to St. Jude Thaddeus! Through opportunities like these, our Youth Ministry encourages young people to grow in faith, develop leadership skills, build lasting friendships, and strengthen their sense of belonging within our Salesian community. 💛
💙 Sharing Don Bosco’s Mission!
SFYC joined the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Mission Office at the Cathedral to share Don Bosco’s mission with hundreds of Catholic school students! Through games, T-shirts, backpacks, and prizes, our staff, volunteers, and Salesian High School students spread joy, inspired young hearts, and shared an important Salesian message: holiness means always being cheerful! 🎉
💙 Welcoming Our Salesian Missionary Volunteers!
SFYC is excited to welcome three young women joining us as Salesian Missionary Volunteers this November! After completing their virtual orientation, they are preparing for 11 months of service, community life, and youth ministry in Boyle Heights. A special thank-you to Br. Al for helping make this meaningful journey possible. We can't wait to see the impact they will make in our community! 🙌
💛 Celebrating Our Salesian Family!
SFYC staff and Salesian young adults joined St. Bridget Parish for their annual Gala, celebrating faith, friendship, and community! Supporting our longtime partners reminds us that being Salesian is a lifelong journey that continues well beyond Confirmation or graduation. We look forward to celebrating with everyone at our own Gala on February 27, 2027! 🎉
