Gifts That Keep on Giving: Silver Star Youth Show us How To Support a Community

 "Silver Star Youth Program" shows that Xinachtli Rites of Passage Curriculum Passes with Flying Colors. 

The girls at Rancho Cielo Campus, Silver Star Youth Program are no strangers to helping their community. In February 2013, the girls created 18 scarves and attached an inspirational message for the Women Alive Program, a women's shelter in Salinas, CA. The scarf-making was incorporated in the Xinachtli Rites of Passage Curriculum.

Rancho Cielo is a 100-acre ranch in the foothills of Salinas, with an educational component, vocational training, and recreation for at-risk youth and first-time youth offenders giving them an opportunity to redirect their lives. Although our first students arrived on campus in 2004, the program has already demonstrated success, as measured by a 73% recidivism reduction rate.

Rancho Cielo has been incorporating the La Cultura Curriculums since 2011, including Joven Noble, young men's curriculum. Congratulations!
