For more than 50 years, we have partnered with teens and families to overcome adversity. Huckleberry strengthens families and empowers young people with services that promote safety in times of crisis, physical and emotional health and well-being, social justice in communities facing inequality, and educational success. When all youth succeed, the entire community is stronger. We seek to empower young people to develop and maintain healthy relationships as well as promote their talents, ideas, leadership and health; to assist youth and their families in overcoming the obstacles they may encounter, which can include family concerns, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health challenges, teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, violence, social and economic inequities, and physical and sexual abuse; and to assist clients in navigating complex social welfare, educational and juvenile justice systems.

"Huckleberry is unique and special because we appreciate, learn from, and value the diversity we have and share," says Jessica Li, Huckleberry's Project READY Academic Specialist from Americorps. Project READY ensures that middle schoolers from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Academic Middle School and Willie L. Brown, Jr. Middle School successfully transition to high school and avoid contact with the juvenile justice system. Next week is the last week of Huckleberry's fiscal year! Please consider a donation to support youth in our Project READY program. Donations made before July 1 will be matched up to $50,000 by the Carolyn and Peter Friedman Foundation. Give today at www.huckleberryyouth.org.

Join us in congratulating Taylor Rudman, who is stepping into the role of Coordinator for Huckleberry's NEW Create 2 Activate (C2A) program. Taylor was previously in the role of San Francisco Community Health Educator. C2A is a collaborative peer-to-peer program designed to empower youth through artistic expression with an emphasis on creating Zines. C2A Zines will include evidence-based harm reduction strategies for substance use prevention, and the prevention of overdose deaths among youth in San Francisco. Taylor will lead youth in the 8-week program as they channel their passion for art while receiving 1-on-1 mentorship and training to develop harm reduction skills. Youth in the program will receive up to $1,000 in stipends upon program completion. C2A is funded through a $600,000 grant over three years from Elevate Youth California, a program of the California Department of Health Care Services. #overdoseprevention #bayareayouth #safety #health #justice #education #adolescenthealth #harmreductionservices

Last Friday, Huckleberry Youth Programs staff gathered at McInnis Park in San Rafael for our first all-agency picnic in almost 5 years. Our passionate and dedicated staff created tie-dye Huckleberry t-shirts, played kickball, enjoyed tacos by Gabby and Hector at Mexican Taco Party, and had the opportunity to bond, laugh, and relax in the sun. We are so grateful for these wonderful folx who care deeply about the success, health, and safety of Bay Area youth. Big thanks to our Operations Manager Jackson who put the picnic together. Go Team Huckleberry!!

Thank you Marin Community Foundation! We are so grateful for your support and honored to be included with all of the other outstanding Marin County grantees!
MCF just launched the Community Power Initiative, a three-year, $30 million initiative. With multi-year, general operating grants, it's designed to ease the administrative burden of nonprofits and increase their flexibility to plan and innovate. It's a historic move for MCF and more proof of how the foundation is mobilizing the power of community. You can read about it here: https://lnkd.in/gCqFKztk

Repost from the MeWater Foundation who took students from Huckleberry’s Project READY out for a day of surfing! MeWater Foundation connects youth with the healing power of the ocean through surf therapy. We had a blast yesterday with @huckleberryyouth and staff, as well as MeWater community youth! None of the youth from @huckleberryyouth had ever been surfing, and they really got after it! You know it was a successful day when you have to tell the kids/staff it’s time to get out of the water! Sunshine and lots of smiles! Thank you to our amazing volunteers who came out!
