About the provider

Youth Centers of Orange opened on April 2, 2017. It was originally established as the Old Towne Boys & Girls Club in 2017, and in 2018 it became its own independent after school program. The leadership team includes Joanna Fermin, Director of Operations, and Edgar Garnica, Director of Programming. The program works with the Orange Unified School District and with Palmyra, and it serves underserved youth in Orange.

Summer Camp cost is $180/week. Full payment by May 22nd includes a free week, a camp shirt, and a camp trucker hat. There is a 10% sibling discount. Refunds are issued for cancellations received at least one week in advance with a $15 administrative processing fee; no refunds for summer camp paid in full. Attendance is flexible by week. The YCO does not employ specialized staff to support students with specific disabilities and/or behaviors; if deemed necessary, the parent is responsible for providing a one-on-one aide and/or behavioral technician.

What families say

“Families in Orange have been waiting for years for a program like this. For people like us, families struggling to stay afloat. A lot of people forget about us. To find something where our kids are safe and doing something positive is a God send for our families.” — YCO Parent
