Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services, Community Service Clubs
Mission: The San Francisco Urban Service Project unites diverse young leaders with community action to promote positive social change. Through training and support, our organization enables young adults to work full-time empowering children and youth of San Francisco. We invest in building skills and providing tools and information for young leaders to make decisions and changes in their own lives, and the lives of their communities. We see children and youth as contributors of positive growth within our society, and believe our Corps Members are role models for self-empowerment and community activism
Programs: SFUSP employs 36 young people, ages 18-24, to work full-time, in teams of two from August to June in a highly intensive training and development program. Our Corps Members are placed at sites from one of the three following teams: Early Literacy Team: Corps Members are placed in Child Development Centers to create and implement literacy programs and enhance the learning environment for pre-school and elementary age children. Service Learning Team: Corps Members are placed in San Francisco public schools to develop and manage service learning projects which link classroom curriculum to community issues. Community Involvement Team: Corps Members will coordinate community involvement and project based-learning activities to increase leadership opportunities of youth at community based organizations. Corps Members also participate in weekly professional development training that focuses on skills related to work at their sites, personal development, and analysis of key social issues effecting low-income urban youth.
