Join us on Wednesday 6/11 to tell the Mayor and Board of Supervisors to make it stronger than ever before:
- Include disconnected transitional age youth to age 24, to ensure we provide a continuum of services that support young people transitioning to adulthood!
- Increase the Fund to meet unmet need for children and youth 0-17 in San Francisco, as well as for disconnected transitional age youth!
- Include a commission overseeing the Department of Children, Youth and their Families, to ensure transparency and accountability!
- Eliminate the sunset date for the Fund!
