Unfortunately due to vandalism at Joan Jones Community Center, the remainder of the Haunted Houses have been cancelled. We hoped for a better outcome, but we are grateful for the **1,500** people who enjoyed the show this year.

We encourage you to visit Alamosa and Westgate tonight for their Halloween events and we hope folks can be respectful of the staff and facilities that we work so hard to maintain.

Stay safe out there everyone!

Strong families build strong foundations! ❤️

Our Early Learning programs are about more than preparing little ones for kindergarten — we’re here to support the whole family! Through family engagement opportunities, educational resources and connections to community partners, we help parents and caregivers feel supported every step of the way.

At our 3rd Annual Family Leadership Institute, families connected with local experts to learn about financial literacy, home and play safety, early childhood evaluations, dental health and positive parenting strategies.

Because when we invest in families, we invest in our children’s future!

✨ Help us celebrate Polo, our 2026 YFS Glowing Employee! ✨

Polo, a building maintenance employee at Cesar Chavez Community Center, embodies the true spirit of One Albuquerque. ❤️

Whether he’s painting walls, waxing floors or tending to the plants throughout the center, Polo takes tremendous pride in making Cesar Chavez Community Center a place everyone can be proud of.

But what makes Polo truly shine isn’t just the work he does. It’s the kindness he shares, the people he supports and the way he makes others feel cared for every single day.

Congratulations, Polo! Thank you for reminding us that taking care of a community starts with taking care of the people in it. We’re so grateful to have you on our YFS team!
