Children may only be one-third of our population, but they are our entire future. Unfortunately, many of San Francisco's children are in crisis. It is the mission of City Youth Now to bridge the gap to provide them with stability and opportunity so they can successfully transition to adulthood. As the African proverb reminds us: it takes a village to raise a child. City Youth Now cannot do this work alone—it takes every single one of us. Together we can make a significant difference in the lives of some very special children in San Francisco.
There are several ways you can become involved with the work of City Youth Now.
