Manteca Youth Focus is a non-profit youth scholarship organization. Incorporated in 1995, the organization originally started as a part of the Manteca 4th of July Celebration and the annual Miss 4th of July Pageant..
Today the organization has expanded the programs offered in three important areas, Educational Scholarships, Community Service and Performing Arts. The volunteers who serve as members of the board of directors strive to provide rewarding experiences for youth by challenging them to step forward and serve as role models for their peers.
Manteca Youth Focus, with its commitment to rewarding volunteer service and fostering community pride, continues to provide unique leadership opportunities for young people in the greater Manteca community.
The most important aspect of Manteca Youth Focus is community service. We truly believe that the special ingredient that makes the city of Manteca, “the Family City,” is the caring heart of its citizens. Volunteers are the essential element in creating a safe place for the families in any community. Last year alone, Manteca Youth Focus participated in over 100 community-related projects.
Each year Manteca Youth Focus awards nearly $9,000 in educational scholarships and awards as part of its 3 annual scholarship competitions.
The Manteca Youth Focus Entertainers are a dynamic and important part of Manteca Youth Focus. The group is comprised of youth volunteers between the ages of 9 and 22 as well as some of the titleholders from the scholarship competitions.
Each year, the Manteca Youth Focus Entertainers log hundreds of hours performing at local area community fairs, festivals and celebrations. The Manteca Youth Focus Entertainers are known for providing quality entertainment that the whole family can enjoy.
Manteca Youth Focus relies solely on the donations of individuals, organizations and businesses from the community. The most important way that you can help Manteca Youth Focus is by sponsoring a child for the scholarship competitions or by making a contribution directly to our scholarship fund.
The Manteca Youth Focus Entertainers accept new members year-round. If you or someone you know is interested in finding out more about this fun and exciting program please contact Shim Lacy, Director at (209) 518-3915 or
