YouthWell Wellness Workshop
YouthWell Wellness Workshop
Students (ages 10-25), parents, caregivers, and teachers are invited to learn from our Non-Profit Panel of 20+ SB County organizations about how students can create meaningful ways to volunteer and do community service.
Evidence shows volunteering helps people manage stress, feel connected, and increases self-confidence. Completing community service hours is more than checking a box off the to-do list… it’s learning about the joy of volunteering, learning new skills, and an opportunity to grow and discover new passions.
You will hear from all of the organizations during our virtual webinar and it will be followed by a Q&A where you can post your questions in the chat. Find out which areas of interest (animals, arts & culture, homelessness, environment & science, education, camps, elderly) are meaningful to you.
You will also be provided with a list of volunteer opportunities for the Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Santa Barbara Channelkeeper’s 20th Annual Student Art Show
Santa Barbara Channelkeeper’s 20th Annual Student Art Show
Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Channelkeeper Student Art Show!
For twenty years, Santa Barbara Channelkeeper’s Student Art Show has celebrated the connection between young people and the ocean. Every spring, high school students from Carpinteria to Goleta are invited to create and submit their interpretations of what the Santa Barbara Channel means to them. The artwork honors the remarkable beauty and biodiversity of the Santa Barbara Channel, and it also inspires our community to protect it.
In honor of the show’s 20th anniversary, local artist Michael Irwin, who for a decade supported the show as an art teacher, will jury the show alongside friend and fellow art teacher Judith Raimondi. The jurors will select awards for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Honorable Mention, Juror’s Choice, and an Environmental Ethics award that will be announced at the artist reception.
The community is invited to celebrate the artists at a reception on Thursday, May 4th from 5:00pm to 8:00 pm that will take place at the Jodi House Gallery at 625 Chapala Street in Santa Barbara.
The show is sponsored by Trillium Enterprise, Inc. and the City of Goleta.
