My Nonprofit Reviews

"Juvie" (what everyone used to call the local juvenile detention center) seems impenetrable, and kids who head there join some unreachable caste. As an adult I want to break down the walls and get those kids back into the real world, but how? Sunset Youth Services is how. I've watched them walk alongside challenged kids on the outside, and now actually enter inside the buildings to get music into the kids' lives. They know all their client kids by name and by story, and create family among the staff and kids so that those stories take a turn for the better. A music studio in "Juvie"? A recording studio at the youth center? Job training and now a degree option? SYS has figured out some very real ways of making a huge difference.
