We maintain a job board page on our website with employment, internship, & volunteer opportunities that are geared towards youth throughout the county of San Mateo.
Each year, we provide twenty $2,000 scholarships to youth who need support embarking on their higher education journey.
Creating an equitable and radically inclusive community for all, regardless of any aspects of our youths’ identities;
