Alumni in Action shares the past and present of former JCYC program participants to highlight our ongoing impact on the lives of our youth. Through stories and portraits, the campaign celebrates resilience, brilliance, and possibility. From preschool to youth development, to college access, and to youth workforce, Alumni in Action reminds us that JCYC is more than a nonprofit — it is a Community.

Former SF YouthWorks Intern
“I am always grateful for the experience and mentorship provided, as it still stands to this day.”
I participated in YouthWorks in the summer at City Hall under Rick Pearman. Once I completed that summer position, I was recruited to become a Youth Leader with Larry Berry.
I graduated high school from a homeless shelter; however, Jerome, Linda, Larry, and Camille attended my graduation. I am always grateful for the experience and mentorship provided, as it still stands to this day.
I currently live in Washington DC. I have my B.S in Aviation Science, Master’s in Transportation Engineering, and 1 year left of my PhD in Computational Data Science Engineering. (I am an) airline pilot, and I will continue to strive throughout the journey and move forward.
