Stuart McCullough, Exec. Director for “Youth Homes”
Stuart has been with Youth Homes for over 20 years and is currently the President of the Martinez Community Foundation.
Stuart, along with staffer, Laurel, explained the services Youth Homes provides to 200 teenagers a year in Contra Costa County. Youth Homes works with teens who have previously failed in traditional foster homes and programs. They work with foster teens who have had typically no positive role models in their lives and have been abused either physically, sexually, or emotionally.
Youth Homes have homes set up in Pleasant Hill, Concord, and Lafayette. They have found great success with their garden project at their Lafayette home by teaching their residence the rewards of planting, caring, and eating the fruits of their labor and teaching them valuable lessons such as responsibility and commitment.
Stuart also made us aware of their upcoming fund raising “Gala” in October at Diablo Country Club.

Chuck Vogel $2 winner
Tom Courtright $5 winner
