Young Visionaries Youth Leadership Academy is holding their 8th Annual “Get Geared Up and Groomed Up” event offering free haircuts and school supplies to youth ages 17 and under in San Bernardino.
The event will be held on Friday, Aug. 1 from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Marinello School of Beauty, 721 W. 2nd Street, Suite E, San Bernardino, CA 92410 .
The event is by appointment only.
Contact Lizette Lopez at Young Visionaries at (909) 881-3382 or at llopez@yvyla-ie.org to make an appointment or to make donations for backpacks and school supplies.
Young Visionaries has already secured 200 backpacks from sponsors NBC4, NID Housing Counseling Agency and the Marinello School of Beauty, but is asking the community to help out with more supplies.
This event is another example of community-based organizations collaborating on the Countywide Vision’s regional goal of helping every child from cradle to career.
