Lompoc Teen Center

Last night, we celebrated a milestone that means so much to the Lompoc Teen Center family.

Our very first graduating Yes I Can-Si Se Puede student, Caden Cerna-Medina, delivered the Graduate Address at the 2026 Chumash Graduation Ceremony, representing perseverance, leadership, culture, and the power of community support. We were especially honored to hear the Lompoc Teen Center recognized during the address.

The Lompoc Teen Center Executive Director and Vice President/Founder were grateful to attend the ceremony and represent the organization in support of this incredible achievement. Moments like this remind us why we do this work. Watching our students grow into confident leaders and advocates for themselves and their communities is the greatest reward.

Congratulations, Caden, and congratulations to all of the 2026 graduates. Your future is bright, and we cannot wait to see what comes next 🎓✨

For the past two years, the Lompoc Teen Center has proudly partnered with Allan Hancock College’s College Corps program to host dedicated Fellows who are making a lasting impact in the lives of local students 💙🧡

Our Fellows support the Yes I Can-Si Se Puede program by mentoring, tutoring, and encouraging at-risk students as they work toward academic success and college readiness. From one-on-one academic support to building meaningful relationships with teens, these Fellows have become an important part of our mission.

This year, we celebrate the incredible accomplishments of Emily Barrey and Samantha Chavoya as they complete their College Corps journey. Thank you for your compassion, leadership, and commitment to serving Lompoc youth. Your impact will continue far beyond the classroom.

Congratulations, Fellows 🎓✨
