Who We Are: Huckleberry Youth Programs is a non-profit providing critical intervention and preventative care to underserved youth in the Bay Area. We are guided by our mission to educate, inspire and support underserved youth to develop healthy life choices, to maximize their potential, and to realize their dreams . In 1967, Huckleberry opened its flagship program, Huckleberry House, the first runaway youth shelter in the nation, at a time when running away as a youth was considered a crime. Over fifty years later, we have grown to provide thousands of youth annually with a continuum of services that remains rooted, just as it did in 1967, in the fundamental rights of young people to be safe, healthy, educated, and treated justly. What We Do: Huckleberry has expanded upon its youth-centered services, using a trauma-informed and restorative justice framework to collaborate with youth and families to build healthier relationships and more vibrant futures for themselves. Our services have expanded to include primary and reproductive care, counseling, case management, health education, juvenile justice diversion, and college access to underserved youth and families. Huckleberry’s longevity is a testament to the agency’s values, and our ability to adapt and innovate to meet the ever-changing needs of our community. Each year, Huckleberry hosts two major FUNdraisers along with smaller, social gatherings like Cocktails for a Cause/bar nights, exclusive dining experiences and shows/performances. What's the Huckleberry Young Professionals Board (HYPB)?: HYPB is a group of young professionals who are passionate about Huckleberry's mission and are interested in using their knowledge, skills, and network to raise awareness and mobilize support for various Huckleberry programs. We plan, market, and execute several fundraisers throughout the year from guest bartending at local San Francisco bars to virtual yoga classes.
