We are happy to share that our tentative reopening date for all centers is October 19!
If you recall our previous e-newsletter, we opened our Santee location in a limited capacity right around the 4 of July weekend. Unfortunately, it was short-lived as the Governor implemented the re-closure of non-essential businesses shortly thereafter. Taking a cue from family entertainment centers, we felt it was best to also close YV (again).
However, given youth groups are able to meet in limited capacity within a supervised environment, and as students deal with the various strains of distanced learning, we feel now is the right time to open the youth centers for kids in the area so long as youth cohorts are able to gather.
As mentioned before, we are implementing CDC guidelines to ensure the safety of all who enter Youth Venture:
