Taking young people to visit the Universities in Northern California. The Salesian Family Youth Center and the STEM Academy of Boyle Heights HS took 18 young people to visit different universities during the spring break.
For some of these young people, it was the first time they had visited cities like San Francisco and Sacramento. Some of them were surprised by the possibilities that could be open if they chose to go to a university.
Among the universities visited are Stanford, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, San Jose State, San Francisco State, and UC Santa Cruz.

The money for this event will be used for leadership development and to support our summer camp program.
