Thank you for your service

By Winston Ashby | Project Leader

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.

Giving everyone the opportunity to serve

By Winston Ashby | Project Leader

connecting with adults who serve

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.

Providing Equity - The Face Of Service

By Winston Ashby | Project Leader

PARTI has worked with youth in Silicon Valley and Manteca to build a platform that would allow them to be the face of service!

The youth in the Positive Alternative Recreation Teambuilding Impact (PARTI) program have been privledged to be connected with amazing business executives and professionals who took time to mentor and connect them with service and career connection opportunities during the 2021-22 school year.

Because of your support, we were able to:

Provide youth led activities that engaged youth 13 cities in Santa Clara County and reached youth in San Mateo, Alameda and San Benito Counties.

Build youth led Stop The Campaigns in Santa Clara County and participate in cohorts to create Stop The Violence Events in San Mateo, Alameda and Los Angeles County.

Build platforms for youth to participate in cohorts that enabled them to have equity and inclusion with funders, educators, and youth development organizations.

"During distance learning, there were numerous times where I felt unmotivated and unhappy with my friendships and school life. The PARTI program had this inclusive environment that allowed me to talk to adults like Winston. I was able to create a plan moving forward to see how to manage all of the different things I was balancing in my life." 2021 participant

We have opportunities to volunteer, serve as event ambassadors or nominate youth to participate or perform at the Safe Summer Kickoff event on Saturday, May 14th, as well as events during the summer in California and the Pacific Northwest. Our goal is to create opportunities for joint serve activities, awareness camapaigns, and career connection opportunities for youth.

In 2022, PARTI will support 500 youth, beginning May 1st to launch the Summer Of Service!
