Join Community Works this June as we work to raise $25,000 in 25 days to support healing, leadership, and opportunity for system-impacted young people and families across the Bay Area.
Your partnership helps us:
Most importantly, your support creates spaces where young people discover their power, strengthen relationships, and imagine futures filled with possibility.
Every gift, of any size, makes a direct impact on young people, families, and the future of our communities. Together, we can build a future rooted in healing, dignity, and hope.
So far we have raised $2,480 towards our $25,000 target! That‘s 10% of the total!
