A Hand to Hold

The Y.E.S. program Hand-in-Hand aims to empower foster youth in northern Humboldt County through positive, mentor-led recreational activities. Hand-in-Hand mostly focuses their efforts on being positive role models and striving to give their participants consistent support throughout the year. Hand-in-Hand commits 2-3 hours of their time to these youth every Saturday from 11am-2pm, allowing parents to shop or run errands while children to socialize and have fun.
