YouthCares, the youth development branch of the Institute, brings together a diverse group of teens to gain leadership and job skills and become active participants in the community. Youth participants in YouthCares Intergenerational provide a variety of services for senior citizens in SoMa and the Richmond District, while those in YouthCares Partners In Learning provide peer tutoring for recent immigrant teens at Newcomer High School in the Inner Sunset.  Learn more about our programs below:

YouthCares will be running a single combined program in Summer 2008, serving both senior citizens and Newcomer High School students.  All paid positions have been filled by returning participants.  Youth are encouraged to apply for volunteer positions this summer.  Volunteer applications are due June 11.  If you are not interested in volunteering, check back in August to apply for fall semester paid positions.
