Promotores Outreach Team
Redwood City Together, in partnership with Friends for Youth, provides paid leadership opportunities for high school students who live or go to school in Redwood City or North Fair Oaks. Youth participate in different community-building opportunities through outreach that educates families on the resources available to them. Through their work, students support driving the mission of Redwood City Together while getting stipends for their work. Youth additionally participate in monthly workshops shaped around college readiness, financial literacy, and social-emotional support. Currently our program is employing 18 youth from our community to become the next community leaders. If you are a student who is interested in joining the program, please complete this form HERE!
