And Youth Inc. is a non-profit public benefit corporation committed to promoting public welfare and education through the acceptance of contributions for use in enhancing, maintaining and promoting the recreation, leisure and parks services offered by the Santa Maria Recreation and Parks Department. These services offer a multitude of personal, social, economic and environmental benefits. Physical recreation and fitness contribute to a full and meaningful life. DID YOU KNOW THAT. . . Parks and open spaces bring beauty to an area, while giving people satisfaction and improving their quality of life.
Leisure provides leadership opportunities that build strong communities.
Leisure opportunities, facilities and the quality of the local environment are the foundation of community pride. Meaningful leisure services reduce the high cost of vandalism and criminal activity. Investing in parks and open spaces in residential areas lead to an increase in neighborhood property values. Your tax-deductible donation will be utilized where the need is greatest. The People for Leisure and Youth invite you to invest in our community by making a contribution that will provide our community with more leisure and recreation opportunities.
