The Altadena Mountain Rescue Team led Temple Station VIDA kids on a hike in the US Forest Service – Angeles National Forest and San Gabriel Mountains National Monument.

VIDA serves kids between the ages of 11 and 17½ at eight locations across the county. Over the course of the 16-week program, VIDA participants focus on increasing academic achievement, improving family relationships, developing positive social behaviors and realizing the possibilities for a better future.

The program includes regular visits with VIDA staff members, a Saturday component and weekly sessions with the child and parent to facilitate communication and understanding. Upon completion of the program, participants receive a certificate of completion and are referred to other programs to continue their growth.
