Sunset Junction's Youth Program was created as a result of the community being pulled apart. People want their communities to be livable again, free of gangs, drugs and violence. The Youth Program has been a success in getting neighborhood youth involved in taking action in the community.

The Youth Program has networked with El Centro Del Pueblo, Hollywood-Sunset Free Clinic, LACER, King & Virgil Middle Schools, Le Conte Middle School, John Marshall and Hollywood High Schools for over 13 years to provide a support system for youth as an alternative choice as oppose to negative behavior, which has helped more than 5,000 youth.

Some of the activities include:

• Christmas Parties
• Field Trips
• Sports
• Counseling
• Tutoring
• Job Training
• Community Service (John Marshall High School)

At present we are working with about 60 youth a week, at Bernstein High, with no more city funding. Two Soccer teams, competing in Saturday and Sunday Leagues.
