La Familia’s “Caminos” team identified a need to provided a safe place for students to exercise an outlet through soccer. Most recently, former Oakland Roots Sports Club player Ricardo Guerra took time to come by and host a clinic where over 16 youth had the opportunity to learn Ricardo’s story first hand, learn values he felt important for young community members, and share some skill sessions through soccer.
Caminos provides services to unaccompanied immigrant youth and children of migrant families. That have entered the US within the past 3 years fleeing violence in their home countries and are primarily from Central America and Mexico.
This camp was made possible through collaboration with Kaiser Permanente and coordinated and ran by Caminos front line staff.

As a founding member and Group Scout Leader for the last 7 years, I can not understate the benefits #volunteering has on your mental well-being. Of course, there are times when it's the last thing you want to do after a hectic day at work, but overall it plays a really important role in being able to distract you from the challenges life throws at you. Even if it is just for a short while.

Let's imagine a world where this is the foundation of how organizations operate, period. This is what I believe in.
We use sports analogies and metaphors in learning and development workshops all the time. We talk about inspiring our kids and making them our future. What if we did this with our employees and each other?
What if it applied outside of kids sports, or sports in general. What if we gave it a try? What are you already doing that aligns with this way of thinking and being?
"When a team has your back, something awesome happens" - That's right!
"When you belong, you believe" - Exactly.
What will you take from this incredible short video, and apply to your workplace today?
Jays Care Foundation Thank you for this beautifully curated campaign. This is the world I believe in.
When you belong, you believe. We've launched a national campaign focused on building a Canada where kids of all backgrounds and all abilities have a place on a team where they belong. 💙

Today is National Day of Remembrance of Indigenous Boarding Schools – also known as Orange Shirt Day. 🦋 It is a day to show support for the Indigenous children who were taken from their families, sent to residential schools, and forced to sever the connection to tribal traditions from 1819 to as recent as the 1970s – and for the Indigenous communities still impacted to this day.
Countless Indigenous children in both the United States and Canada were put through this traumatic experience, including tribal children right next door to us at the Haskell boarding school in Lawrence.
Many of them did not survive this traumatic experience, often malnourished, abused, or lost while trying to escape back to their families.
For the past several years, I have been called to Lawrence to honor these souls and clear the energy that remains. I spend time communing with the land, connecting, and remembering the too-young souls who were lost there. I drum and sing for those children that were not allowed to have a voice. I pray for ALL children. Past, present & future. 🧡
As a society, we try so hard to eradicate things that are different. We want to eliminate what we don't understand or what makes us uncomfortable. We've been doing this for such a long time and it's beyond time that we change.
We must honor the children who survived this traumatic experience - and also remember those who never returned home.
