Safe Passage Youth Foundation

Thank you, Los Robles Hospital for donating hundreds and hundreds of valentines gift bags for homeless children, and under-housed children. We will be out in the community passing these out all day today. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Making kids happy, resilient and joyful comes in many ways. Being able to run, play, explore. To create music, art and friends ! This is what we do. We have such amazing partners. We are an all Volunteer organization, we partner with Rotary and the CRPD Park district, CVUSD schools, and the VCSO sheriffs department and organizations like Art Trek who come in and open pathways of curiosity. Always Free, children are on a passage way to joy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

School is out and we found 60 kids who just missed it so much that they came to our annual Winter Peace Day Camp. Partnered with Art Trek, CRPD and Rotary, this combination incorporates incredible activities for kids all day long. A perfect way to bring in the valentines weekend. Music Classes, Art Projects, Games, Crafts, Peace Themes, Kids being Kids, running free, letting their minds be curious. Always free, never a fee. We bring kids together from schools across the area so the children meet and learn with others not from their neighborhood. This incorporates a sense of peace and joy and community. This is how you make communities stronger, families happy and kids resilient. ❤️❤️

Teens take Drug Awareness classes this weekend so they can help others. A great class that we taught with the help of the County of Ventura Public Health for teen leaders. Keeping communities safe and healthy is what Safe Passage does. Families become resilient and joyful

Safe Passage is proud to partner with CSF, CVUSD and the PTA to make this happen. These little one’s eyes light up as they mix rocks that tumble and soil that changes right in their hands, or feel the thrill of launching a homemade rocket they built themselves. Real hands-on science labs starting in kindergarten, turn abstract ideas into tangible adventures. Unlike simply watching a classroom video or clicking through a laptop screen, these experiences engage all their senses—touch, sight, even the surprise of an unexpected result—creating STEM memories that stick far deeper than passive viewing ever could. Studies and educators consistently show that children learn best by doing. When kindergartners and elementary students regularly get their hands dirty with experiments every week, they build stronger neural connections, sharper problem-solving skills, and genuine curiosity about the world. Screen-based lessons are good to introduce science concepts in helping young minds transfer that knowledge to real life. Then, the real science occurs when kids get —hands-on labs, this makes science alive, personal, and exciting, sparking a true passion instead of just information or AI overload. Over the elementary years, this weekly rhythm of discovery does something remarkable: it nurtures confidence. 🙏✅😇

As a mom, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing your child grow into someone who asks “why” ?

We are so proud of firefighter Liz. An alumni, Safe Passage Youth. Having traveled through Safe Passage all through elementary school and high school. She graduated from the wildland fire Academy and now she’s protecting our community. This is how Safe Passage rolls.❤️

We pair mentors with boys, turning storytime into a future—weekly sessions, free books, zero judgment. Last year, over six hundred kids dodged danger through our volunteer work with Ventura County Sheriff‘s department, the Thousand Oaks Police Department.

Flipping pages to flip futures.

Safe Passage to Future

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” — Elizabeth Andrew - Thank you Los Robles Hospital Docs and nurses for helping us out this weekend with our kids and moms health clinic.

Busy week. We load 200 K-5th kids into buses every morning and are there to greet them at the end of the day. They live in apartments and have no back yards. We make sure they have what they need each day as they go to school and are safe and sound at the end of the day. This takes a village of volunteers. We partner with so many other wonderful non profits and local government agencies. Keeping kids safe on their passage through school is what we do. #safepassageyouth #cvusd #crpd #vcso #foodsharevc ❤️😇😇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kids helping kids. Our volunteers this weekend ranged from 8 years old to 90 years old . We passed out enough free groceries for over 9,000 meals. This takes a crowd of 94 volunteers. All in one day . Each Volunteer coming from a different walk in life from School Principal’s to fourth grade students . Thank you all!

This week, our volunteers  proudly support 100 infants with essential food, diapers, and vital mother care — helping tiny lives thrive!  Grateful to Conejo Community Outreach who supplies our diapers and makes a difference! 💙 #InfantCare  Proper infant nutrition in the first 2 years reduces chronic disease risk, and builds a healthier community for generations.  #safepassageyouth #CommunityHealth

Healthy kids = happy kids! Bundle them up and watch them thrive. What's your go-to jacket brand? 👇 #WinterWellness #KeepKidsWarm #ParentingTips

❄️ Hey parents! As winter chills set in, let's wrap our kids in warmth and health! A good winter jacket isn't just about style—it's key to keeping them cozy, boosting immunity, and letting them play outside without catching colds.

At Safe Passage Youth Foundation, we’re not just changing lives—we’re boosting the local economy too. Through our teen employment training program, young people dive into real-world jobs, gaining skills that’ll stick with them forever. Think resume building, time management, and that first paycheck thrill—it sets them up for success while they’re still in school. While other kids are sitting at home gaming or watching video, Imagine these kids mastering customer service at your favorite local shop; that’s confidence they carry everywhere. Plus, they get paid and besides saving for cars their futures, they are also injecting a thousands of  dollars straight into Conejo Valley through their wages, keeping dollars circulating right here at home. It’s a win-win: teens learn, communities grow stronger. Empowering youth means a brighter future for everyone—join us in supporting these changemakers.

Teens Earn and Learn

The Ventura County Sheriff's deputies play football, hand out gifts, and build real bonds with neighborhood kids! Community policing like this fosters trust, keeps our streets safe, and fills hearts with joy. This is how we create safer, happier communities together. ❤️ #SafePassageYouth #CommunityPolicing

We called the police.
