Welcome To The One Step Center
"Making Changes Poco a Poco"
How one person, one committee, one idea, can change a community! One Step A La Vez is a committee composed of 12 high school youth who started in 2004 to look into improved mental health care for the youth of Fillmore and Piru. The name One Step A La Vez was chosen by the youth committee in 2005 to show that you can always take One Step At A Time toward a positive future. It is in both English and Spanish to reflect and value the dual heritage of our community.
