Last weekend, YCD proudly marched in San Francisco's Juneteenth Parade, honoring the resilience, joy, and legacy of Black communities!
Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, progress, and the continued pursuit of equity.
As an organization rooted in community, we know that building opportunity and creating pathways to success requires collective action and an unwavering commitment to the people we serve.

Happy Fatherβs Day to the incredible dads of YCD! π
