About Change Lanes Youth Support Services

Change Lanes Youth Support Services is designed for young people ages 8–17 who are facing risk factors or are connected to the probation system. The center serves children who have gone through trauma, including domestic violence, bereavement, or conflict within their communities. Through a secure environment and supportive guidance, Change Lanes aims to lower rates of school failure, substance misuse, teen violence, and other negative outcomes.

Programming includes group-based life skills instruction, social-emotional learning, and structured mentoring. These approaches help youth recognize their strengths, build relationships with supportive adults and role models, and improve their decision-making. With support provided early, participants gain practical tools to create healthier routines and more hopeful futures.

In addition, Change Lanes provides special 100% free opportunities such as Alternative Activities for Youth, featuring trips, mentoring, and community service. For adults, the center offers court-approved education covering parenting, addiction awareness, and domestic violence. The organization also helps qualifying individuals apply for CalFresh food benefits.
