Yes, There is a Santa Claus

Would you believe that Santa Claus exists? Yes, Santa is present and right here in Norfolk! In every teenager, there is a Santa Claus. Teens love to give gifts as much as they enjoy receiving them. While a new pair of Nike sneakers or the latest PlayStation might be at the top of their list, many youths, such as those who are a part of Next Step To Success, genuinely enjoy bringing the magic of the holiday season to others.

At the end of the day, Santa lives in all of us. This special time of year, we remember why humans are here on this Earth: to love, practice kindness, and spread joy. This love, kindness, and joy are shared at NSTS every time a youth comes to Next Step To Success (NSTS). Every day, Norfolk teens, our Success Stories, are eagerly greeted by our Success Coaches and welcomed with open arms. The laughter and joyful banter in the air every afternoon are contiguous.

The best gift our youth receive daily is the special bonds they have created with one another and the caring and meaningful relationships they have formed with our staff. In a time when our world needs more joy, let's continue to bring love to others. You, too, can be Santa Claus for our young people and one another. Yes, indeed, there is a Santa Claus!
