We want to share that Vogue School will be closed next Monday (4/20) and Wednesday (4/22).

We take the safety of our community, our young people, and our staff very seriously. TaskForce is, and will always be, a youth-first community space rooted in care and mutual respect. We are taking this time to reinforce our safety protocols and ensure that Vogue School remains the safe, welcoming environment our community deserves.

We look forward to returning the following week; thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Today marks TEN YEARS of TaskForce’s free clothing closet! It all started for one simple reason: our community needed it. Youth were walking through our doors without access to essential clothing, so we decided to step up! Today, the closet is still going strong; 1 in 4 people who visit TaskForce use it, and it’s sustained daily by the generosity of our community. 💜

TaskForce’s Spring Break was an extravaganza! We hosted a week of programming designed to help youth with their professional and personal development, and 70+ young people showed up! Through program completion incentives, we invested $22,000 into our youth, breaking down stigma and building future allies to our community. Thank you to the parents, youth, and community members who trusted us to create such an empowering and educational Spring Break experience.
