Youth Programs is part of Good Samaritan Family Resource Center, which has a 130-year history of building trust in the community. The mission emphasizes respect for all who participate, honoring their dignity and hard work, and offering family services in English and Spanish in a nurturing Spanish-English environment. Community partners and leaders describe Good Samaritan as a trusted lifeline for immigrant and low-income families and note that the programs empower youth with skills, confidence, and community support to thrive. Testimonials from parents and staff highlight caring teachers and staff, children learning Chess in the Afterschool program, and students forming early friendships and connections in preschool.
