A New School Year!


We've had a busy summer, moving to our new home at 20th and Harrison and getting ready for our biggest year of programming ever.

Streetside plans to help 2,500 youth tell their stories this year--our biggest year ever. And when we say working with youth, we mean that each youth we serve will receive at least 16 hours of Streetiside programming, with lots of hands on attention from staff and our wonderful volunteers. Usually, it's even more than that.

Streetside also has the biggest staff we've ever had this year--sixteen full and part time staff members. We started off the year right, with a 2.5 day training (shown in the photos) in all of the tools we need to do a great job--classroom management, cultural competency, youth development, and working with English Language Learners.

Our first day of school? September 17, when the Tech Tales program will kick off at Francisco Middle School in San Francisco.
