With the escalating housing crisis and limited availability for certain TAY services many youth are beginning to seek services outside of their community. Because of that we want to make sure TAY are able to access a wide rang of resource that may be out of their community and provide access to TAY who may not be from San Francisco yet need assistance.
Downtown TAY functions as an access point for TAY in the city. Their mission is to empower the young adult community by connecting them to their culture, inspiring hope, promoting critical thinking and cultivating creativity while supporting their overall health & wellness.
