2025 End-of-Year Community Update
As 2025 comes to a close, we want to start with gratitude. Your belief in young people and in our community made this year possible.
In the short video above, JCYC Executive Director Jon Osaki shares a year-end reflection on what we accomplished together, the challenges our youth continue to face, and the vision guiding us into 2026.
Your Impact in 2025
7,000+ children and youth served in San Francisco and Daly City
Strong early learning through Chibi Chan Preschools
Safe, affirming youth leadership programs rooted in Japantown
Ongoing advocacy to support college access for first-generation students
3,000+ young people supported through workforce readiness programs
Even in a year marked by uncertainty, our community showed resilience and care. When low-income, first-generation students succeed, our entire country is stronger - and your support helps make that possible.
A Gentle Year-End Invitation
If you are considering a year-end gift, your support today will help sustain the programs and advocacy our young people rely on as we enter 2026. Every contribution - of any size - strengthens the path forward.
Thank you for being part of the JCYC community and for standing with our youth, today and always.
With gratitude,
The JCYC Team
