Cristal Sierra, Age 19
Verdugo Hills Youth & Government 2008
Outstanding Delegate
"Youth & Government made me question my future. It pulled me outside my bubble and gave me the opportunity to have a voice. I now have a better sense of who I am and what I can be! Now my priority is to get my college degree and give back to the community in some way."
Sierra Torres, age 12
Crescenta Canada Family Member
"When my Dad told me the YMCA was sending me to sleep away camp, I got so excited! I had never been to camp before and now I was going to Camp Arbolado. I learned archery and how to swim and made new friends. It was a great summer. Thank you YMCA!"
