Phoenixville Public Library

Many parents believe Snapchat is just a harmless app for sending silly photos and staying in touch with school friends, but the reality behind the screen is vastly different.
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free presentation, “Snapchat Safety for Parents”, on Tuesday, October 6, 6:30 PM, at the Library.
The featured speaker, Attorney Zachary Yurick, is a former Chester County Child Abuse Prosecutor who now represents harmed families against Snap Inc. 
This eye-opening session teaches parents exactly how predators manipulate features to target and exploit kids, alongside the very real warning signs of social media addiction. 
Attendees will walk away with:&nbsp;
<ul><li>Practical, immediate strategies to actively monitor behavior and spot red flags.&nbsp;</li><li>A&nbsp;"Digital Defense Checklist" to make the app safer for your teens today.</li><li>Step-by-step instructions on how to implement Snapchat’s actual safety features, and expert knowledge on where they commonly fail. </li></ul>
About the Speaker: Zack is a dedicated trial attorney who has spent his career serving as a fierce voice for vulnerable children and crime victims. His work earned him the 2023 Prosecutor of the Year Award and the 2024 Crime Victim Advocacy Award. Most recently, he was named a 2026 Nextgen Superstar and Main Line Today’s Top Crime Victim Attorney for his work representing harmed children and their families. He leverages his unique investigative background to expose platform vulnerabilities, hold tech giants legally responsible, and provide communities with the critical education parents need to protect their children.
This event is free and open to the public. The program will also be&nbsp; livestreamed on Zoom for those unable to attend in person. Registration is required at <a href="https://ccls.libcal.com/calendar/Phoenixville/snapchat-safety" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://ccls.libcal.com/calendar/Phoenixville/snapchat-safety</a> or by calling 610-933-3013 x132. Email <a href="mailto:mpinto@ccls.org">mpinto@ccls.org</a> for more information. Phoenixville Public Library is located at 183 Second Avenue, Phoenixville, PA.

Longwood Gardens, 419 Conservatory Rd, Kennett Square, PA, 19348

<h1>From Childhood to Independence: A Night at Longwood Gardens with Amigos de Jesús</h1>
In a country where poverty, limited educational opportunities and economic insecurity can leave young people with few choices for their futures, Amigos de Jesús is working to create another possibility: helping vulnerable children grow into educated, healthy and independent adults with the skills and opportunities to build their lives in Honduras.
On Thursday, October 15, 2026, Amigos de Jesús will bring that story to Longwood Gardens for Growing Together with Amigos, an evening celebrating the children and young adults of Amigos and inviting the greater Philadelphia community to become part of their journey.
Amigos de Jesús provides a safe and nurturing home for vulnerable children in Honduras, but its work does not end with providing a safe place to live. The organization walks alongside children from childhood into adulthood, providing education, healthcare, emotional support, faith formation, life skills and opportunities designed to prepare them for healthy, independent lives.
“Our goal isn't simply to care for a child today,” said Kelley Jackson, President and CEO of Amigos de Jesús. “We have to ask what success looks like when that child becomes an adult. Are they educated? Are they healthy? Do they have the skills and confidence to work, manage their lives and build a future within the realities of Honduras? That is the journey we are committed to.”
Guests attending Growing Together with Amigos are invited to enjoy Longwood Gardens throughout the day before gathering in the Fountain Room from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. for a cocktail reception, stories and updates from Honduras, and a private illuminated fountain show.
The evening is designed not only to raise critical funds for the mission, but also to introduce new people throughout the region to Amigos de Jesús and the many ways individuals, families, schools, churches and businesses can become involved.
Tickets are $200 per person and include untimed admission to Longwood Gardens for the day, the evening reception and private illuminated fountain show.
