🦃 A Thanksgiving Message from California Youth Services
*|MC:SUBJECT|**|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*
In Every Moment of Gratitude, We Find Strength.
As the golden leaves of autumn pave the way for Thanksgiving, we at California Youth Services (CYS) find ourselves reflecting on the countless moments for which we are deeply grateful. This is a time to acknowledge the journey we’ve shared with our community, the strides we’ve made together, and the individual lives touched by our collective efforts.
Gratitude in Every Story
This Thanksgiving, we're reminded of the stories that have unfolded within the walls of CYS — stories like that of a young freshman whose encounter with nicotine on school grounds could have altered his future irreversibly. It’s the early intervention, the crucial moments of awareness, that have shifted his path from risk to resilience. We are thankful for the opportunity to step in at just the right time.
Our heart swells with gratitude for the support that makes these pivotal moments possible. From parents who trust us to guide their children, to donors whose generosity fuels our programs, to volunteers who dedicate their time — each of you are integral threads in the fabric of our mission.
Today, we give thanks not only for the triumphs but also for the challenges that have strengthened our resolve. We give thanks for the moments of connection, for the shared goals, and for the unwavering belief that every child deserves a chance to thrive in a supportive environment.
A Circle of Thanks
As we sit around the table this Thanksgiving, let us remember the shared mission that binds us: to empower the youth of Orange County to lead lives free from substance abuse. For the trust, the commitment, and the shared dedication — we are immensely thankful.
This Thanksgiving, may our gratitude for the past inspire us to continue forging a path of hope and empowerment for the future.
From all of us at California Youth Services, we wish you a Thanksgiving filled with warmth, reflection, and profound gratitude.
Coming Up: "Moments of Change: The CYS Journey of Prevention and Empowerment"
As we embrace the spirit of gratitude this Thanksgiving, we also look forward to an exciting series of messages and stories in the weeks to come. Under the theme "Moments of Change: The CYS Journey of Prevention and Empowerment," we will be sharing insights and narratives that are close to our heart and mission.
What to Expect:
Giving Tuesday: A focus on the power of generosity and how your support makes a real difference in the lives of young people and their families.
Christmas: A message of hope and compassion, celebrating the season's spirit and its meaning for the families we serve.
End of the Year Reflection: A look back at the milestones we've achieved together this year and a glimpse into our goals for the future.
Each story and message is a thread in the vibrant tapestry of our work at California Youth Services. These are more than just updates; they are testaments to the impact of collective action and the transformative power of community support.
Stay tuned as we unfold these "Moments of Change" and continue to work together towards a future where every child is empowered to live a life free from the shadows of substance abuse.
