City Youth Now regularly invites authors from the Bay Area and beyond to speak with the youth at the San Francisco Juvenile Justice Center. All of the authors we sponsor have an inspiring story to share with the youth detained at the Juvenile Justice Center. City Youth Now collaborates with Amy Cheney of the Alameda County Library System, the Woodside Learning Center and the San Francisco Public Library to arrange author visits at the Juvenile Justice Center.
For more information on the Author Visits Program or if you are an author interested in participating in the program, please contact us at info@cityyouthnow.org.
I have never seen old pictures of Alcatraz before, or the Golden Gate Bridge being built. They had to use ferries to go everywhere. That was so cool!Detained Youth during Author Gennifer Choldenko's Visit
