Mission Statement To help youth make healthy and safe decisions that improve their physical, emotional, and social health, empowering them to become successful, contributing adults. Vision Statement To build a more equitable world where the color of a person’s skin is not a risk factor for chronic disease, homelessness, and economic instability, and that youth from all San Francisco neighborhoods lead happy, fulfilling lives.

  • Do you find yourself struggling with your body image? You are not alone. A recent Mental Health Foundation survey found that among 13 to 19 aged-youth, 35% said their body image causes them to “often” or “always” worry. Our clinicians put together strategies and skills to help you bolster your self confidence and learn how to communicate your difficult feelings and emotions. Visit our LinkTree (https://lnkd.in/gGtwaQEv) to access the Body Image Workbook and begin your journey of self discovery and love. In closing #NationalWellnessMonth, we remain focused on uplifting our community by providing resources through our clinic and counseling services at 3rd Street. #WeAre3rdStreetYouth #NationalWellnessMonth

  • Earlier this year, we celebrated the 3rd anniversary of our Lower Polk TAY Navigation Center. Over the past three years, we've assisted over 750 transition-age youth (TAY) in moving from the streets into stable housing. This milestone underscores the importance of providing crucial support services to young people in need, aligning with our mission to uplift and empower San Francisco's youth. By helping Transitional-Aged Youth (TAY), we are taking significant strides toward creating a brighter future for young people living in Bayview Hunters Point community and greater San Francisco. #WeAre3rdStreetYouth
