We hope everyone had a great First Week of School!

We hope everyone had a great First Week of School! Over this past week, CYN had a lot of fun hosting Back to School Market. We gave out more than 150 backpacks and supplies to prepare students for the upcoming school year. This wouldn’t have been possible without our generous donors @tickettodream, all of our volunteers, and CYN Staff! Thank you all!

We would also love to thank all the advocates that showed up and took time to pick out backpacks and school supplies for their students.

CYN wishes all students a very very very successful school year! 🎒📚✏️🎉 #cityouthnow #cyn #backtoschool #btsm #ypeeprogram

✨ Sneak peek at what’s coming soon… 👀🎒

Our Annual Back to School Market is officially in the works, and we can’t wait to open our doors once again to help youth start the school year feeling prepared and confident! 📚✏️

We’re already receiving some amazing donations, and we’re incredibly grateful to @tickettodream for helping make this event possible. Their generosity means more backpacks, school supplies, and essential items will be in the hands of the youth who need them most. 💙

Want to be part of making a difference this school year? We’re still looking for partners, donors, and supporters to help us fill our market!

📩 Send us a DM or email us at info@cityyouthnow.org if you’re interested in partnering with us.

Stay tuned… we’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes updates and event details very soon! 🎉

✨ That’s a wrap on our 3-Day Art Empowerment Program! 🎨💙

Yesterday, we wrapped up our final session with our amazing partners, @soulseatedjourney , and what a beautiful way to end these last three weeks together.

For our final project, our youth, staff, and volunteers created their own Joy Boxes while exploring what it means to step into uncomfortable spaces and discover that peace, joy, and happiness don’t come from the outside—they start from within. 💛

Watching our youth open up, create, reflect, and encourage one another reminded us just how powerful art can be. Sometimes all it takes is a paintbrush, a conversation, and a safe space to help someone find their voice.

We’re already looking forward to bringing more programs like this to life! 🎉

A huge thank you to @soulseatedjourney for being such an incredible partner throughout this journey. Thank you for sharing your amazing curriculum, bringing such a wonderful facilitator, and always being flexible and supportive of our youth, volunteers, and team. We also want to thank the @communitymusiccenter for providing such a welcoming space for our youth to learn, create, and grow.

And lastly, thank you to our biggest supporters, @openheartsfoundation and the Joseph & Vera Long Foundation, for believing in the power of art and empowerment. Because of your support, our youth were able to use creativity as a way to express themselves, build confidence, and discover that their voices matter.

Here’s to more art, more empowerment, and more opportunities for our youth. 💙✨

🌊 Catching waves, making memories, and trying something new! 🏄🏽‍♂️

Last Friday, our youth and young adults hit the beach with City Surf Project for an unforgettable day of learning how to surf!

A huge thank you to @citysurfproject for making this experience possible, and to our Board President, Patrick Yalon, for coming out to support and cheer on our youth throughout the day. 💙

At City Youth Now, we’re all about creating opportunities that help young people build confidence, step outside their comfort zones, and discover new passions. Whether it’s riding their very first wave or taking on a new challenge, every experience helps them grow.

This is just one of many exciting programs we’re bringing to our youth this summer—and we’re just getting started! ☀️

Want to help make experiences like this possible? We’d love to hear from you! Reach out to info@cityyouthnow.org to learn how you can support City Youth Now.

💛 Volunteer Spotlight 💛 One of the hardest parts

💛 Volunteer Spotlight 💛

One of the hardest parts about this work is saying goodbye to the people who become such an important part of the organization and community. Lily has truly been one of those people for us at CYN.

Lily first joined City Youth Now as a USF volunteer, and over time stepped into the Volunteer Manager role, helping support and guide new volunteers, creating systems for check-ins and tasks, and helping co-create programming that continued to push CYN’s mission forward. Through all the chaos, busy events, and last-minute pivots, Lily always showed up ready to support however she could.

As she moves on to new adventures, travels, and opportunities, I just want to say how grateful we are for everything she has poured into this organization, our youth, and even into me personally. We are so proud of her and excited to see where life takes her next. 🌱

Thank you, Lily, for being such a meaningful part of the CYN community. You’ve left your mark here in more ways than one, and we’ll definitely miss having you be part of our team! 💛

We are STILL feeling the energy, love, and impact

We are STILL feeling the energy, love, and impact from last Thursday’s 76th Annual Rise Awards 🎉✨

Because of this incredible community, we welcomed more than 140 attendees, celebrated 10 amazing youth scholarship recipients, and raised nearly $40,000 to continue supporting and uplifting youth across our community. 💙

Every ticket purchased, donation made, raffle entered, conversation shared, and moment celebrated helped remind our youth that they are seen, valued, and supported. The room was filled with resilience, hope, laughter, and powerful stories that we will carry with us for a long time.

To our sponsors, donors, volunteers, board members, partners, and everyone who showed up for our youth: thank you. Your support allows us to continue creating opportunities, removing barriers, and investing in brighter futures for the young people we serve.

This was more than just an event. It was a reminder of what community can do when we come together. 🌟

And with that… we’ll see you at the 2027 Rise Awards 🎊
