There are a lot of great things happening here at the Youth Center this month so come and join us for all the action this month from games after school to the Spotlight Talent Show at the end of the month!

RTS enrolls up to 45 students per year, we focus on GED prep, life skills and pre-employment training.

Students attended the Job fair at Daytona State Campus, where two students obtained jobs from attending.  Workshops this month included, in-house educational and training workshops by Sayskids Bryan Perry, Wells Fargo Bank, Travis Thomas from Flagler Technical Institute, Know the Law presented by DJJ, resume writing assistance.
