Every year, young kids from our community are needlessly killed in traffic-related
collisions.
HELP US…
The Santa Clarita Youth Grove is a grassroots effort supported by the City
of Santa Clarita and the Blue Ribbon Task Force. It is dedicated to Santa
Clarita youth (24 years old and younger) who have died in traffic-related
incidents, and provides a safe, centralized location for young people and
community members to remember these youth.
The Youth Grove is for the Santa Clarita community – particularly our
youth – to use, and to reflect upon the unfortunate consequences of
drinking and driving, and of reckless driving. The City and the Blue Ribbon
Task Force hope that, through this graphic and powerful reminder, our citizens
will vow to be more mindful and responsible when getting behind the wheel.
The Youth Grove is located in Central Park, 27150 Bouquet Canyon Road, Santa
Clarita, and currently includes 73 names. To
include a youth’s name, please complete and sign the release
form (PDF) and mail it to: City of Santa Clarita, Community Services
Division, 20880 Centre Pointe Parkway, Santa Clarita, CA 91355, or
fax it to (661) 250-3730. For more information about the project, please call
the City of Santa Clarita’s Community Services Division at (661) 250-3708.
