What is the San Carlos Youth Center Foundation?The San Carlos Youth Center Foundation financially supports the Youth Center facility, equipment, and programs/scholarships not covered by the City.

The San Carlos Youth Center Foundation was established as a California nonprofit in 1993 by a group of San Carlos citizens to raise the funds necessary to build the San Carlos Youth Center in Burton Park. The San Carlos Youth Center opened its doors to the community in September 1999. While the City of San Carlos and the Parks and Recreation Department maintain authority over the San Carlos Youth Center programs and staffing, the San Carlos Youth Center Foundation and its Board of Directors continue to raise and distribute funds used to maintain and improve the facility, as well as supplement cost, programs and scholarships not covered by the City.

Senior FencingSenior Fencing is an interesting way to exercise for seniors. The movements, agility training, and non-traumatic contact is perfect for seniors, even those with light-to-moderate disabilities like arthritis or joint replacements. People need variety to help make their exercise a life-long endeavor, and fencing is a great addition to the mix.

Stretch, Strength and BalanceExercise is an important part of the health and wellness of seniors. It helps increase your metabolism, energy levels, and alertness. Research shows that those suffering from chronic illness benefit from exercise even if it is done while sitting in a chair. Chair exercises are great for older adults, those with disabilities, poor balance, or anyone who has trouble standing or getting on the floor to do exercises. They are always gentle on the body and generally safe for most people to do. It is always a good idea to talk to your doctor before beginning a new exercise program, but you are not likely to injure yourself doing any of these exercises. Be sure to wear loose clothing and comfortable, supportive shoes.
