We believe that all young people can achieve their full potential and that individuals can come together for the greater good. We strongly believe that young people strive to lead responsible and useful lives, and it is our responsibility to provide them with adequate opportunities to be meaningfully engaged and to help them grow into adults with responsibilities and power. Our youth development programs inspire young people to play a critical role in shaping the course of our history, and in return we remain committed to ensuring that young people are engaged in a democratic society and that their voices are heard.

Global Exchange is an international human rights organization dedicated to promoting social, economic and environmental justice around the world. Taking a holistic approach to creating change and with 20 years working for international human rights, we realize that in order to advance social, environmental and economic justice we must transform the global economy from profit centered to people centered, from currency to community. We envision a people centered globalization that values the rights of workers and the health of the planet; that prioritizes international collaboration as central to insuring peace; and that aims to create a local, green economy designed to embrace the diversity of our communities. As an education and action resource center, we advance our vision by working to ensure our members and constituents are empowered locally and connected globally to create a just and sustainable world.

is the arm within city government focused exclusively on ensuring that young people become healthy, productive, and valued community members. Over the years, DCYF has become a powerful, creative, and informed voice within city government and throughout the country. DCYF is the major city source of funding of youth employment, violence response, early childhood development, and afterschool programming. DCYF is also a major engine of inter-departmental partnerships related to children, youth, and families, as well as partnerships with the SFUSD. DCYF’s mission is to ensure that families with children are a prominent and valued segment of San Francisco’s social fabric by supporting programs and activities in every San Francisco neighborhood. The DCYF goals, called the Quality of Life Benchmarks, were adopted by the Board of Supervisors and Mayor and state: - Children and youth are healthy
- Children and youth are ready to learn and are succeeding in school
- Children and youth live in safe, supported families
- Children and youth live in safe, supported, and viable communities
- Children and youth contribute to the development and vitality of San Francisco
- San Francisco retains and begins to grow its child, youth, and family population.
