"A backpack filled with the school supplies they need is a great way for kids to start a new school year," says Julie Birkett, summer program director for Find My Genius. Requested supplies include backpacks, 24-pack crayons, composition notebooks, pencils, colored pencils, erasers, pocket folders, glue sticks and hand sanitizers. A generous donor donated 700 backpacks. Scholars are selected by their teachers. In addition to academic support, the program also includes enrichment activities, sports, field trips and arts and crafts--providing a well-rounded experience. Supplies can be dropped off in bins located in the lobbies of the Simi Valley YMCA (3200 Cochran Street) and the Yarrow Family YMCA (31105 Thousand Oaks Blvd. in Westlake Village) Founded in 2018, Find My Genius is supported by the participating school districts, donors and foundations.
