The gentrification of the Mission District brought a "gang list" that affected young people in a 60-block radius, limiting their freedom of movement and association. Vicente Garcia used his 2007 Young People For fellowship to organize the community to stop the gang list.
Young People For (YP4) is a strategic long-term leadership development program that identifies, engages and empowers the newest generation of progressive leaders to create lasting change in their communities.
Young People For is happy to introduce our 2012-2013 Fellowship Class.
We are accepting nominations to identify and support the newest generation of progressive leaders for the following year's Fellowship Class!
