From San Diego County Probation

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. – June 26, 2026 –  Youth at San Diego County Probation’s Youth Transition Campus and East Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility are finding more than creative programs — they’re discovering real pathways back to community and opportunity.

Probation works collaboratively with The David’s Harp Foundation to connect youth with artist‑mentors who support them from custody through reentry. Programs like BIZPod give young people hands‑on creative experience, paid opportunities, and a chance to build portfolios and businesses!

Creativity here isn’t just expression. It’s belonging, employment, entrepreneurship, and a future full of possibility.
