Live In Peace Inc

Students who achieve greatness (swag) live in peace was chosen by the county of san mateo to design and implement a 3-years program that would actively re-engage 80 of sequoia union high school district's most academically disengaged students. The swag program is now working with over 83 students, providing tutoring, one-on-one mentoring, case management, and more. With 28 high school graduates in our first year, representing a 100% graduation rate for our seniors, we are now successfully transitioning swag students into our college initiative, positioning our youth to follow their visions to the next level.

First of the month (covid-19 program) thousands of neighbors in our community are currently unemployed due to covid-19, many are one bill away from losing their home or not having groceries. We are supporting 300+ already identified east palo alto, menlo park, redwood city and palo alto families of color, mostly working in the service industry, with rent and cash assistance. Many potentially face months of joblessness as shelter in place continues. #firstofthemonth is a campaign created by three local organizations to address the most urgent need identified by our most vulnerable neighbors-rent.
