Community Programs: San Francisco
The Youth Leadership Institute San Francisco has been on the forefront of youth development since 1994. San Francisco faces challenges typical of many urban cities, including education inequity, youth violence, and substance abuse. However, unlike many other communities, this city has long embraced cutting-edge approaches to youth development and made youth leadership and engagement a priority. Rather than focus on individual choices, programs in San Francisco use environmental prevention methods developed by The Center to change policies and community norms around violence, substance use, healthy food, and educational inequity.
