about US
We are a group of youth based in Santa Clarita, CA dedicated to battling isolation during times of crises. Right now, COVID-19 is affecting millions of families across America both emotionally and financially. It is our job as the next generation to provide everyone around us with the opportunity and gift of feeling joyful and connected during a time of impending isolation.
​
Every week, a community care package we call "The Gift of Joy" is sent out to everyone we can reach. In order for our work to be impactful and everlasting, youth from all over the city send in art, films, and other motivational pieces to brighten the days of those who receive, and most importantly, to connect our community no matter how dire the situation may be.
