2009 Sabbatical Award Recipient

Connie Watson is the Executive Director of People Who Care Youth Center. PWC was founded in 1974 by a group of residents concerned with the lack of positive outlets for youth in the community. Since its inception, PWC has provided an urban haven where young people have the opportunity to receive mentoring and tutoring assistance, and also enjoy positive recreational activities. Watson was recognized as Volunteer of the Year in 2001 by the LA County Board of Supervisors and as the State of California 48th Assembly District Women of the Year in 2005 by Assemblyman Mark Ridley-Thomas.
