Harvest Dinner Success!

Our youth interns at our Harvest Dinner!

A Night to Remember - Our Harvest Dinner Success!

 Our annual Harvest Dinner was a night filled with laughter, connection, and community. Thanks to everyone who attended, donated, and shared the evening with us, we exceeded our fundraising goal and raised over $31,000! This incredible support helps us continue providing opportunities for local youth to learn, grow, and lead.

A special thank you to our event sponsors, including Ruins, who generously provided their space, and all the local businesses and individuals who made the night possible. One of the most inspiring moments came when our youth interns took the stage to share their stories. Their confidence, honesty, and pride in their work moved everyone in the room.

Bike Bus Wrap Up

Our Fall Bike Bus wrapped up on October31, and what a great season it was! We welcomed several new riders, and the growth in confidence, bike skills, and friendships was incredible to see.

The best part? Two amazing parents joined us each ride, pedaling alongside their kids and other students. That’s what the Bike Bus is all about — building safety, community, and connection in West Central, one ride at a time.

We dropped the "Ops"

You may have noticed — we’re now officially River City Youth. Earlier this year, we asked our youth which name felt right for our next chapter. The winner? River City Youth — short, clear, and deeply connected to who we are today. We’re excited to keep building our programs and community under this name.
