Review for Sunset Youth Services, San Francisco, CA, USA
I took Triple P Parenting classes in the evening with Sunset Youth Services and I learned so much about parenting teens and parenting in general. I took the class more than several times and each time it felt like the first time. The executive director, family success coach, and staff were always very welcoming and engaging with the parent(s) that attended the classes. The parents formed a close bond with SYS and their respective parent cohort groups. SYS always made sure we were well fed, had childcare for those of us with younger kids, and provided transportation to and from the classes. Even during Covid when the classes were done on Zoom, Sunset Youth Services had hot meals delivered to our homes and provided Safeway gift cards to ensure we were fed. They are very generous in making sure families are able to attend the parenting classes and will do everything to ensure families are taken care of. Also, SYS makes the parenting classes fun by rewarding us with chocolates or SYS swag for positive parenting behavior. The work they do goes beyond their workshops and classrooms. One time, I was having a big issue with my younger child and I was really struggling with what was going on inside that head of hers and I turned to the executive director for help. She took time out of her extremely busy schedule to meet us in person (prior to Covid) at her office. She spent a good couple of hours with us and I left knowing more about what was going on with my youngest child and practical solutions to our challenges.
If there is anyone that works the hardest to ensure our parenting classes go smoothly, it would be the family success coach M. She keeps us organized, on time, fed, informed, and many more behind the scenes things she does to make our experience seamless.
It is clearly evident that SYS does the great work they do because they truly and genuinely care about all their clients and are passionate about their mission. The ED and staff work tirelessly to help others. They are saints. Through the years, I have seen them help so many from all walks of life. They truly have made a big impact on the community.
We are blessed to have SYS! With gratitude!
