Mission and programs · 2025

• After-School Programs and Summer Camps The Youth Center provides safe, enriching, and accessible programs that support youth and working families in our community. Our free after-school program for middle school students in grades 6 through 8 offers a structured and supervised environment during critical after-school hours, helping keep youth safe and engaged. Students receive daily homework assistance, tutoring, and opportunities to participate in sports, arts, and leadership activities. We also offer low-cost after-school childcare at two locations, serving more than 600 children each year. These programs provide families with reliable, affordable care while supporting students academic success and social development. Camp S.H.A.R.K. (Science, Hands-On, Art, Recreation, Knowledge) is our low-cost outdoor summer camp serving more than 500 children ages 5 through 12 annually. No child is turned away due to an inability to pay. The camp is screen-free and encourages children to connect with nature, build friendships, and participate in educational and creative activities. Together, these programs ensure that all children have access to safe spaces, caring mentors, and opportunities to learn and grow.

• Recreational, Arts, and Educational Programs The Youth Center offers a variety of programs designed to inspire creativity, build skills, and support youth development. Our after-school music program is conducted in partnership with the Los Alamitos Unified School District and provides string and band instruction to public, home, and independent school students in grades K through 5. After one year of instruction, students in grades 1 through 5 may participate in the elementary string ensemble or jazz band. More than 250 students participate annually, and no child is turned away due to an inability to pay. Saturday classes are also offered to expand access and enrichment opportunities. The Leadership Academy serves 30 students each year and focuses on building essential life skills, including goal setting, cooking, banking, car insurance and maintenance, career readiness, and healthy living. Our Girls in STEM program is designed for elementary school students, with a focus on empowering girls in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through hands-on workshops, mentorship, and leadership activities, participants develop confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. This program helps break down barriers, inspire future innovators, and promote a more diverse and inclusive STEM workforce.

• Every 15 Minutes Program The Youth Center partners with Los Alamitos High School to present the Every 15 Minutes program, a two-day educational experience that raises awareness about the dangers of impaired and distracted driving among teens. Through realistic crash reenactments, emergency response simulations, and impactful presentations by students and parents, the program highlights the real-life consequences of risky driving behaviors. By engaging participants in meaningful and reflective activities, the program encourages responsible decision-making and promotes greater community awareness and safety.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
