PARTI Program just completed our student led violence prevention camapign to address school and community violence, and to provide mental wellness support activities to youth who are dealing with trauma. We would not have the impact that we had without the support of champions like you. Our youth organized 3 events, in 3 Counties, and led outreach and recognition activities to a total of 12 schools: 2 middle schools, 7 high schools, and 3 colleges.
This summer, our youth will follow up in each community to reingage and recruti youth for future projects. Again - Thank you! During the summer, we plan on increasing you service opportunities to be engaged in 10 cities in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We target activities for low-income and underrepresented youth who otherwise never receive an opportunity to be heard or get placed in leadership roles in school. PARTI believes leadership and service should be the common expectation and experience of all youth.

Thank you everyone who took some time to donate or share opportunities to donate to our project to your network, Because of your support, we were able to reach 881 youth and supporters of youth in service. Our next Service campign will be during Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend, on January 14th.
This year, we were able to reach armed forces, first responders, essential workers, and teachers who stepped up during covid-19. Please tell someone THANK YOU this holiday season and we will serve you in 2023!
The strength of the program throughout this time has been its commitment to elevating youth voice and co-creating projects with the community. PARTI grew out of founder Winston Ashby’s love of his community, and his innate ability to bring people together for a good cause. What started as organic community happenings centered on music, stepping, and an annual celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, has evolved to 501c3 non-profit that promotes youth development, social emotional well-being, and whole child support through four core programs, become a Youth Development.

Youth are amazing and they when given the opportunity to be in environments that provide them equity to be change makers. This summer, our participants built youth led service projects and activities to address racial justice, mental wellness, diversity and inclusion, gender equality, and access to opportunities for youth living in low income and marginalized communities. PARTI is also committed to provide mental wellness activities to support youth dealing with anxiety and depression. We had a busy summer which will lead us to build on activities during the summer to multiple schools and communities.
