Dear Friends,

During my time of supporting California Youth Services (CYS), I have learned so much about the impact our programs make in our community. Perhaps the greatest thing I have learned is that building an inclusive drug and alcohol intervention option for families creates a stronger future for our kids and teens. This is why we must not let up on our support and giving. 

With the rapid growth of teen Fentanyl poisoning over this past year, our work at California Youth Services continues to be critical in changing lives. We do whatever it takes to continue saving the lives of our youth— and thanks to supporters such as you, our kids are never alone…they have our CYS professionals to help them navigate through challenging times. Anticipating the needs that are coming as we address the latest drug and mental health trends, California Youth Services must be stronger than ever to ensure kids achieve their dreams of tomorrow.

This year our youth need us now more than ever. Please consider a gift to help us expand our programs to serve more youth with greater impact.

Being exceptional means exceeding, not just meeting, our personal goals. Our youth need us to exceed the goal we set for ourselves in fundraising.

On behalf of our youth, CYS Professionals, Board Members and families, I want to thank you in advance for your generosity.

Sincerely,

Carlos Aguilar
CYS President
