Jazz and Conversations on Youth Well-Being Fundraiser

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

Thank you to everyone who supported SOH’s Jazz and Conversations on Youth Well-Being. The evening was a blast, including the selfies posted on social media and the swinging sounds of Jacques Lesure.  The evening’s conversations on youth well-being moderated by Joanne Griffith-Poplar with Alex Johnson, Mandla Kayise, Rev. Deborah Manns, and Shari Walker provided insight on how people, housing, education, and employment are key factors in making a young person whole.

Special thank yous to our sponsors Ann J. and Edward P. McKenna Foundation, Maria Alden, Kaiser Permanente, and HOPICS.  And, thank you too to our amazing volunteers Kandee Lewis and Joey Solomon.

Here are a few highlights from the evening that we hope you will enjoy.

Invest in Potential Fund

For 2017, SOH has goals to maintain our current programs and expand to increase an array of housing options for youth and young adults experiencing insecurity.   Mid-year, we anticipate launching a capital campaign so that we are able to have a permanent home to provide basic need services, media literacy and art therapy, nutrition and well-being, education support and retention services, and general counseling.  We can only achieve this goal with the support of the community and village members like you.  Please help us put youth and young adults on a path to resiliency so that they are able to realize their full potential.
