Festive and local events happening this month!

During the summer months, we annually serve over 3,000 participants in combating summer learning loss which disproportionately impacts youth of color and low-income communities. We financially support and host 20 impactful events that bring together multiple youth serving organizations. These summer events provide a safe and nurturing environment for youth and their communities to build relationships, explore San Francisco's hidden gems, and exposure to literacy, art, and STEM enrichments.
Your generosity makes it possible for us to continue to financially host our summer program.
