District XI ~ Agency Spotlight
 

City of Riverside

On Saturday, October 27, 2007 Riverside's Youth Opportunity Center was officially opened in grand style at Bobby Bonds Park. The center will serve as a one-stop shop where those ages 14 to 22 can get job training, help with resumes, learn interviewing skills and find out about job opportunities.

Other programs at the center include individual and family counseling, assistance with applying for college, anger management courses, a GED program, tutoring, arts and science activities, a fitness and nutrition program, movie nights, art shows and much more. With partners like Friday night LIVE, Operation Safe House, Riverside Adult Education and Riverside Community College, the center will focus on .Empowering youth with the skills of tomorrow, Today!.

   

Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship: These six Pillars of Character are ethical values that guide our choices and are embedded in the mural on the wall of the YOC to remind youth of their importance. The standards of conduct that arise out of those values constitute the ground rule of ethics, and therefore ethical decision making.

Designed and painted specifically for the center by local artist, Antonio Martinez, the mural has become a local landmark of new beginnings for the Eastside neighborhood. The mural is full of life and vibrant colors that is sure to inspire all who walk through the doors of the YOC.
