San Francisco Department of Children, Youth & Their Families

What do San Francisco’s children, youth, and families need in order to stay, belong, and thrive in the city? We’re hosting 14 Family Summits across San Francisco to hear directly from families, young people, and community members about what’s working, what challenges they’re facing, and what they want to see in their communities.

We held our first Family Summit on Saturday, September 12 at Aptos Middle School in District 7. In this video, Aumijo Gomes, DCYF’s Director of Communications, Data & Strategic Alignment, shares some of what we heard.

District 7 was just the beginning. We have 13 more Family Summits to go, and registration is open for all of them. Come share your story and tell us what matters to you and your community.

Want to help shape how San Francisco supports students?

The Student Success Fund Advisory Council is looking for parents, guardians, and community partners to bring their experience and perspectives.

We’re currently looking for two Family Representatives and one Off-Site Community Partner Representative. Council members provide recommendations that help strengthen the Student Success Fund and Community Schools work and serve as a connection between the communities they represent and the Fund.

This is your city. Share your story.

Every family has a story to tell.

This September, San Francisco youth, young adults, and families are invited to five Family Summits across the city to share what they need to stay, belong, and thrive in the city.

Your experiences matter. What you share will help 13 City departments and SFUSD better understand what families need across San Francisco and work together to strengthen support for children, youth, young adults, and families. Your input will help shape San Francisco’s first Citywide Community Needs Assessment.
