“We provide free services to all of our teens here in Santa Clarita,” said Kim Goldman.

The SCV Youth Project is entering into it’s 15th year.

“We’re on all of the junior high and high school campuses, working with kids in a one on one setting,” said Kim Goldman. “We also do outreach and crisis intervention for our kids that are dealing with depression, suicide, grief and loss, angry, drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, peer pressure… just life stuff.

“So this money directly impacts their lives, so we can continue to provide our free services to them.”
