The HYPE Center is a space designed by and for youth to come together to easily access services and resources from multiple providers under one roof on one platform, engage in leadership development to become effective advocates for themselves and others, and most importantly, to just be youth!
Rather than providing or recreating services ourselves, the HYPE Center brings together community providers who young people trust to offer their services, resources, and opportunities to youth ages 14-25.
Every young person deserves to thrive. We believe bringing services and opportunities together on one platform will introduce youth to resources in their community, will reduce barriers to accessing services, and will help young people succeed.
We value and prioritize the input of youth, and want our services and space to be responsive to the needs of San Francisco's youth. We are using technology, feedback loops with youth, and peer networks to make participating easier.
