With your gift, City Youth Now will be able to fund some of the costs of sponsoring an author visit at the San Francisco Juvenile Justice Center including travel costs, an honorarium, and book costs.

Your donation will provide the 1400 youth that pass through the Juvenile Justice Center annually with direct contact with a local or nationally acclaimed author who shares their story with the youth.

Your generosity will ensure that City Youth Now can sponsor authors who are able to relate to the youth and speak to them in a way that will have meaning and lasting impact on their lives.

You can make a difference.
