In February 2022, we partnered with Alameda County Health Care Services Agency (HCSA) to amplify the voices of 5 young men of color from United for Success Academy to discuss how COVID-19 has impacted them, their families, their friends, their school, and their communities. We are so proud of our young people for stepping up to provide their communities with this much needed perspective and to have also partnered with Alameda County HCSA to contribute to county-wide messaging and best practice sharing. Take a listen to hear the inspirational discourse and to catch a very encouraging preview to our future generation.
