Greetings!  Top 

 

Since starting off at Youth Homes, Beth Ransom continues to find inspiration in the young people with whom she works. On board for nearly two months now, Beth joins Youth Homes as supervisor for the Transition Age Youth Work Program. Prior to joining this inspiring community, Beth's prior work history found her employed with the Associated Community Action Program (ACAP) in Alameda County working with at risk youth as well as working in the construction industry - making Beth a perfect candidate as Program Supervisor. Currently employing four former foster youth, the program offers a variety of services to the community while teaching valuable employment skills to our youth. 

 

Need help hanging holiday lights? Considering a gutter clean-out before the real rain begins? Contact Beth at (925) 818-3934, to arrange for this or other seasonal projects including painting and light landscaping.

Special! Special! Read all about it! This week only, the Youth Homes Auxiliary will be posted at the downtown Walnut Creek Barnes and Noble. Providing holiday gift wrapping, all tips will go to supporting the vital work in caring for vulnerable foster youth. Additionally, anyone shopping at the store on December 5th and 6th can ensure some of their purchase goes to support the Auxiliary as well. 

 

Be sure to use this flyer and 5% of your purchase will be donated to the Youth Homes Auxiliary. We are delighted to partner with Barnes and Noble again during this wonderful time of year.
