with
Recreation Advocates
At Recreation Advocates, we believe every young person deserves the chance to
learn, grow, and thrive
through positive experiences — no matter their family’s financial situation.
Your donation directly benefits
Watsonville youth and families by:
✅ Opening doors to recreation and enrichment programs for children and teens up to age 18
✅ Providing scholarships for sports, arts, camps, and other growth opportunities
✅ Supporting free community events that bring families together
✅ Creating a safe, healthy, and positive environment for young people to discover their potential
💙 How You Can Help
When you give to Recreation Advocates, you’re not just making a donation — you’re making an investment in the future of our youth and the strength of our community.
Since 1982, our all-volunteer nonprofit has helped youth in Watsonville access opportunities they might not otherwise afford — from swim lessons, sports, and day camps to music, art, dance, and cultural programs. These activities don’t just fill free time — they build confidence, creativity, friendships, and lifelong skills.
Together, we can ensure that every young person
has the chance to play, explore, and thrive.
