The Johnny Martin Sotelo Youth Opportunity Center is a teen Center under the City of Riverside Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department that works with teens, ages 12-22. Outreach workers guide these teens to become the best humans they can be through connecting them to local resources that are willing to impact these youths lives. This podcast is was first created during COVID, but has continued to become an outlet and voice for many staff, volunteers, and youth to participate and share ideas, perspectives on issues, and resources for the teens living in Riverside California. This podcast is for the world to hear! We hope you all enjoy. For any questions please reach out to the Youth Opportunity Center yoc@riversideca.gov
