After a year hiatus, we were able to resume our Annual Mother’s Day dinner last night! Students from The Garage served dinner to their moms and celebrated them with handmade gifts. And of course, a few rounds of La Lotteria! Happy Mother’s Day to all our Garage Moms!! #GarageYouthCenter #AfterSchoolWorks #InvestInYouth

Garage Alumni Spotlight: Leticia Cruz To honor our 20th Anniversary, throughout the year, The Garage will be sharing notes and updates about the wonderful alumni of The Garage who are now adults living, working, and serving in our community "The Garage has impacted my life because it allowed me to gain knowledge about what to expect for college, especially through college tours. They taught me the importance of asking for help when needed. The internships that I did through Career Compass helped me realize the importance of making right decision when choosing a career."

Our amazing friends at YoungMoms Community have a delightful spread of auction items and a delicious looking event this weekend! Check out their page for more information, and we wouldn't be mad if someone bid on a vacation house for the annual The Garage Community and Youth Center Staff & Board retreat
