#PEERSGIVING2020

I recently joined the board of Peer Resources! About the organization:

San Francisco Peer Resources has been a partnership with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) since 1979. Peer Resources' mission is to create just change in our schools and communities through the leadership of young people engaging, training, and advocating for young people. Peer Resources supports the healthy development of youth by providing opportunities for them to practice leadership, foster their personal, civic, and social responsibility, and make a real difference in their lives, schools, and communities.

If you know me, you know how passionate I am about working with high school and college-age youth. I believe strongly in their potential to change the world. Peers gives SFUSD students the tools they need to resolve conflict in a constructive way. Students also learn invaluable leadership skills through Peers programming-skills that better equip them to go out there and make the world a more civil, logical, and loving place!

Help me support this incredible organization this holiday season. Any amount helps. Thank you!

Can you imagine being a student during these unprecedented times? Economy shutdown. Schooling through an electronic device. No human contact. Your graduation, your prom, your big performance and the other ways you celebrate a major accomplishment has been canceled indefinitely.

These are social and academic milestones that define young adulthood for many years to come.

Our young people are undoubtedly resilient. Our Peer Leaders have adapted to fill the void created by the pandemic but it is more important now than ever that our students are not left to navigate this new normal alone.

The power of Peer Resources is that we are committed!

Please support our 2020 Peers Giving season. You can make this season the best giving season yet.

We are uniting in online support for Peer Resources beginning December 1 and ending December 31. There’s no amount too small to participate and every dollar counts! If you choose to rally with a crew or be a captain of your own team, we will make sure your participation is as seamless as possible.

You may like to fly solo but maybe you’re down to grab a friend, grab a loved-one or a few loved ones to be part of our thirty-one day giving campaign.

Love it. Plan it. Do it. Change it.
