🌻 An afternoon of sunshine, smiles & sunflowers🌻

Yesterday, some of our SYS staff and youth, along with a very special furry friend 🐾, headed out to the sunflower farm in Beaverton for an afternoon of fun!

It was a beautiful opportunity to get outside, enjoy the sunshine, explore the farm, spend time together, and make some great summer memories. Of course, our four-legged companion seemed pretty interested in making a few new farm friends too! 😂🐐🐶

We’re so grateful for days like these that give our youth the chance to connect, have fun, and enjoy new experiences in the community. 💛

🌻🐾 Here’s to making the most of the last few weeks of summer!

A very productive Leadership meeting today! 🙌

It was great to come together, have some meaningful conversations, share ideas, and continue working toward the goals we have for our programs and the people we serve. We grateful for a management team that can work hard, collaborate, problem-solve, and still make time for a little fun along the way.

And of course, no productive meeting is complete without a tractor ride! 🚜😂

Great conversations, great teamwork, and an even better team. ❤️

☀️ Summer at Sutton Youth Services has been one to remember! 🌻💙

It’s been a little while since our last update because we’ve been busy making memories, building skills, and creating opportunities for the amazing youth we serve.

Over the past few weeks we’ve enjoyed:
🌈 Tie-dye activities
🌱 Setting up our greenhouse and caring for our garden
🍳 Life skills programming
🤝 Community events and partnerships
🎨 Creative activities
🌞 Outdoor recreation and plenty of summer fun

Every day brings new opportunities for our youth to learn, grow, connect, and build confidence. None of this would be possible without the incredible dedication of our staff, volunteers, community partners, and supporters who continue to make a positive impact.

As we move through the rest of the summer, we’re excited to keep creating safe spaces, meaningful experiences, and lasting memories together.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Sutton Youth Services. We can’t wait to share more of what we’ve been up to!
