Youth Services
Focusing on youth development is a core part of the Interface mission. With youth in mind, our services are integrated throughout the focus areas of Mental Health, Family Violence Intervention and Family Strengthening. Many of the youth-focused services and activities are provided in partnership with the Specialty Juvenile Courts, Ventura County Probation Agency, Ventura County Children Family Services, foster family agencies, group homes and other community based organizations. Funded through publicly funded contracts, foundation grants and community donations, youth are provided with a lifeline to healthy development.
Services
Interface offers leadership development activities, service learning, life-skills coaching, crisis response, mediation, temporary Cool Home shelters, independent living skills classes for foster youth, and outreach and engagement events to assist homeless or runaway youth in accessing support.
