🌲 An unforgettable November staff meeting in the Presidio! 🌉

Our APA Family Support Services team gathered in one of San Francisco’s most treasured places, hosted by the amazing Presidio. We received an inspiring briefing on the Presidio’s proud history and ongoing transformation—from its days as a military post to becoming one of the country’s most successful national park sites.

What makes the Presidio truly unique: it’s a national park where people live, work, and visit every day. Families like the ones we serve can enjoy this living treasure for generations to come.

We also had the privilege of learning from our partners at Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA) about the continued fight for immigrant rights and language justice—deepening our commitment to the families we support.

Grateful for partners who protect both our public lands and the rights of our immigrant communities. Together, we’re building a stronger, greener, more just San Francisco! 💚

So proud to have joined over 350 leaders at the inaugural Children, Youth & Family Summit: Aligning for Thriving Communities on November 7!

Alongside Mayor Lurie, 11 City departments, 80+ nonprofits, Supervisors, and philanthropic partners, contributed to powerful conversations about building a stronger, more connected cradle-to-career system in San Francisco. Together we explored how coordinated investments, better jobs, and truly integrated education, , , and family support services can transform outcomes for every child and family.

Every day, we walk alongside families raising children, parents facing big challenges, and little ones who deserve the brightest possible start. Being part of this Summit wasn’t just about listening—it was about bringing our frontline experience to the table and helping shape the solutions that will help the families we serve not just survive, but truly thrive. 💙

Emergency Food Support for CalFresh Families

Thank you, Mayor Daniel Lurie and the SF Human Services Agency.

Before the court’s decision on SNAP funding, the City moved quickly to stand up emergency support for CalFresh participants. We’re honored to partner on this effort. Our APAFSS program team has been working diligently to roll out the support network so families don’t fear going hungry.

At our two Family Resource Centers—Visitacion Valley/Sunnydale and 4377 Mission (Excelsior)—we will provide extra food support for CalFresh participants who are registered with us.

Gratitude to our staff for rapid communication and outreach—your speedy work helps families get timely information and services.

Growing Our Impact: Internship Program Expands to Serve More Families

To address the growing need for culturally responsive behavioral health services among Bay Area children, youth, and families with limited resources, we launched an internship program in 2017 in partnership with local colleges. Starting with just three interns, the program has grown to collaborate with nine universities and placed eight bilingual, bicultural interns in FY 23-24. To date, we have trained more than 60 emerging clinicians, with seven currently under the expert supervision of Dr. Sarah Jimenez, Behavioral Health Clinical Supervisor. These dedicated interns allow us to serve more diverse communities while cultivating the next generation of compassionate, language-concordant providers.
