What is Neighborhood Services?

Neighborhood Services provides innovative youth development programming that serves at risk, low income, and homeless youth and families throughout Santa Rosa. The programs provide "safe haven" sites where young people can enjoy recreational, social, and athletic activities without fear of gangs, drugs, and other negative influences that occur in their neighborhoods. In partnership with other City services, Neighborhood Services also assists families living in high needs neighborhoods to improve their quality of life. As a result, the program connects adults and children in neighborhoods through recreational and social activities.
