The Pico Youth and Family Center is holding an open house on Saturday, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. to celebrate more than a year and a half of service.
Since its opening in 2002, the center has served hundreds of community youth and their families through computer training, case management, music production, counseling, employment readiness and leadership building.
The open house celebration will include free food and entertainment by local youth and a mural inauguration.
Keeping with the motto “promoting peace, unity and social justice,” the PYFC commissioned local artists Juan Carlos Munoz Hernandez and Alex Kizu to paint “Seeds of Peace,” a mural symbolizing the urban peace movement.
The center is located at 828 Pico Blvd. #9. Food and refreshments will be served at 3 p.m. and the entertainment and mural inauguration will be at 4 p.m.
For more information, call Yolanda at (310) 396-7101. To learn more about the center, go to www.picoyouth.org or come to the center. RAND to host trauma conference
