| June Holiday Calendar
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.
If interested in making a donation, please reach out to info@magic-sf.org for more information.

| MAGIC's Annual Self Care Retreat
| |
On May 16th, we hosted our annual Self Care Retreat at the Presidio's Crissy Field Center. We set aside an afternoon for service providers to focus on themselves, because they are often taking care of others. The Self Care Retreat gives frontline staff a day to reset and refresh before summer programming begins. Activities included a bird watching tour, sound healing workshop, DIY aromatherapy diffusers/rollerballs, and sugar scrub making. Thank you to the wonderful staff at the Presidio for hosting us, Nekia for the sound healing workshop and all our participants who joined us!
