These programs and events kept us connected; working in solidarity toward racial, gender and social justice; and fueling each other's creativity and resilience. We also continued to adapt programs, provide basic needs support, and facilitate mutual aid in response to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. 27 families received social work services, 20 laptops were loaned out to youth to support online learning, and over $40,000 of emergency funds were redistributed to families impacted by the intersecting pandemics of Covid-19, racism, sexism, classism, and xenophobia. We also increased paid internship opportunities for youth and gave over 20 scholarships to alums and seniors through the Dream Fund, totaling $86,000. We also offered racial justice healing spaces for our community in response to collective challenges. We continued to center young women and gender expansive youth from marginalized and underrepresented communities, particularly young women of color. Of 2021-2022 youth participants, 83% were of color, approximately 70% were low income, and a high percentage came from first- or second- generation immigrant families. Programs offered included: Youth Leadership Council, Y-WE Tech, Y-WE Grow at Marra Farm, and Y-WE Lead (encompassing specialty programs like Career Camp, Nature Art and Journaling, and DIY Healing).
