Past Events

YOGA & Meditation

BBSVC@Ventura, Pacific View Mall

Everyone had a great time at yoga! Our instructor, Audrey, was amazing at going at a pace comfortable for all ages and skill levels. Audrey taught everyone breathing techniques to help overcome challenges and stress, and the group got used to the different poses that were used. By the end of the session, all participants were having a good time going in and out of the different poses and shapes. 

The Big Hike

Corriganville, Simi Valley

A BIG thanks to everyone who came out to our Big Hike this past weekend! 
Our participants got to decorate their own walking sticks, then head out on the trail. Our amazing guide, Les from Simi Trail Blazers, shared his insights and knowledge on different plant and bird species. He also remarked having the most fun on this hike because of the enthusiasm and excitement of the youth participants. Thank you Les!

Social Media Safety

Via Zoom

 A BIG thanks to everyone for attending!
Safety is a high priority for everyone in our programs. 
BBSVC CEO Danica Selvaggio previously facilitated a discussion for youth, mentors, and parents/guardians on how to maintain safety, boundaries, and respect in an increasingly digital world. 

Bowl For Kids Sake 

Harley’s Camarillo Bowl

A BIG thanks to all of our sponsors, matches, youth, families, community members, local businesses, Board Directors and staff members who came out to support our annual Bowl For Kids' Sake event (BFKS)! BFKS is one of the many events during Move For Kids' Sake, which promotes a healthy lifestyle and mindfulness. Youth from all over Ventura County, including Bigs, Littles, families, sponsors and more, came to celebrate their fundraising efforts. The event was a great success, and everyone had a blast!
