🎧 This week in our OYA program, we’re focusing on emotions.

Not just anger.
Not just frustration.

But the emotions underneath.

Disappointment.
Shame.
Grief.
Fear.

We’re using music as a way to explore what’s hard to say out loud.

Sometimes it’s easier to point to a lyric than to explain what you’re feeling.

Emotional awareness is not weakness.
It’s a skill.

When youth can name their emotions,
they’re less likely to act on them impulsively.

Growth starts with understanding what’s really going on inside.

🎄✨ Holiday Party Recap ✨🎄

Our holiday party with OYA youth was an absolute blast!
So many games, lots of laughter, and of course LB, the office cat, made sure to join in on the fun 🐾😄

We’re grateful for the memories made this season and excited to wrap up the year on such a positive note. Wishing all of you a happy, healthy, and wonderful New Year! 🎉🤍

This year’s Thanksgiving party featured a Bake-Off, and every youth showed up with something homemade for the judges to share. From creativity to effort, each entry reflected teamwork, pride, and participation.

🏆 This year’s winning dessert: the scone cookie!

We’re proud of all the youth who participated and helped make this event fun, inclusive, and memorable.

🐾 Meet Our Newest Team Member: LB!
We’ve officially hired a new staff member he’s got four legs, a tuxedo, and a whole lot to say. Our office cat LB has moved in, and while he might be shy at first, once he warms up, he’s one of the chattiest “employees” around.

LB is our office rescue, a loving boy who soaks up attention during the day and bravely fights off pests at night. He’s a big lover at heart, greeting everyone with loud purrs and meows.
He’s already claimed the best nap spots, keeps a sharp eye on staff productivity, and insists on being paid in treats. We’re pretty sure he thinks the entire program now revolves around him—and honestly, he’s not wrong.

Stay tuned for more “purr-sonnel” updates as LB settles in. 🐱
