Seven Tepees Youth Program positively impacts the lives of inner-city youth. Students are with us from 6th grade through high school graduation and beyond, an impressive long term investment in their future. At Seven Tepees, youth learn and practice the academic and social competencies necessary to be successful in the 21st century. A cornerstone of our work is connection to the natural environment.
Volunteers make the Seven Tepees Youth Program possible. Tutors give youth an opportunity to achieve academic success by giving personalized support.
We are looking for eager volunteers to help tutor middle school and high school youth Monday-Thursdays from 4-6 pm. In order to begin, we ask that all volunteers attend our volunteer orientation on Decmber 9th at 6:30 pm at our learning center; located at 3177 17th st. San Francisco. Please email daniel@7tepees.org if you are interested.
Thank you!

Mission Statement
The mission of Seven Tepees is to work with urban youth to foster the skills they need to make lifelong positive choices and to create their own opportunities for success. Founded in 1995 by retired Juvenile Justice Daniel Weinstein and Native American healer Hully Fetico, Seven Tepees began as a summer camp where youth lived in seven tepees - one representing each continent of the world.
