Get ready to paint pumpkins, stuff scarecrows, and listen to some spooky tunes at the 25th annual Scarecrow Festival on Saturday, September 26th from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.!

This fall favorite offers free fun for the entire family. BYFS Student Ambassadors will be there to help—come say hello and visit us and our nonprofit partners!

This event takes place in the Village of Barrington's Memorial Park, and is held rain or shine. We hope to see you there!

Parents, please join us for new yoga & mindfulness classes at the new Boys & Girls Club of the Northwest Suburbs (BGCNWS) Woodlands Impact Center in Carpentersville!

Classes are free, and will be taught in Spanish by BGCNWS's Abby Gallagher on Wednesday, September 23rd and Wednesday, September 30th from 9 - 10 a.m. If weather permits, classes will be held outside.

Relax and reset with us, and learn mindfulness tools you can carry into your everyday life.

Pumpkins, ponies, and puppies —oh my! 

​

Stop by BYFS on Thursday, October 29th to paint a pumpkin, play some fun fall games, and pet our furry friends from SOUL Harbour (some will even be wearing Halloween costumes)!

​

All are welcome at this free family event - we look forward to seeing you!

Please save the date of November 19th for this year's Friendsgiving event - more info to come!
