Background Statement

Huerfano County Youth Services (DBA) Sangre de Cristo Center for Youth (SCCY) continues to move forward with momentum as the facility reaches the 24th year of operation. SCCY is a small grassroots youth-serving non-profit located in Huerfano County, which is in south-eastern Colorado. SCCY provides a safe place, without discrimination, for the youth of the community. SCCY also provides healthy snacks, a place to complete homework, a place to "hang out" that is monitored and safe. A craft room filled with endless opportunities for self-expression is available at the facility, and a staff that provides a "compassionate ear" to the youth is always on duty at the center. A garden space is a part of the program, and it provides a true outdoor learning lab. The garden provides the youth with healthy food choices and the opportunity to see the growing process from seed to harvest.
