Support Our Work

“Most San Franciscans aren’t aware of the amazing work that goes on at the Beautification Event Days. You will come back once you get involved like I have because the outcome captures your heart.”

Believe in the potential to create a better future.

Volunteering with the Shared Schoolyard Program provides a safe environment for children to play, learn soccer, create art, and form friendships with their peers.

Your support is making a meaningful and long-lasting impact on our community. The Shared Schoolyard Program is essential in empowering young people to achieve their goals, enhancing the well-being of individuals and the community, and promoting security, support, and good health for all.

We rely on the generous support and participation of the community to carry out our mission. You can help us make a real difference.

High school students can earn community service hours by participating in Beautification Day with SFUSD to meet graduation requirements.
