SAN FRANCISCO â Helping San Francisco youth before they set off on the wrong path is the aim of a new initiative being launched by the district attorney's office.Bianca Vasquez, a 22-year-old intern at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, is among the many young individuals benefiting from youth programs in San Francisco.'It's great because it's giving youth, especially starting at the age of 16, a chance to avoid gangs and stay off the streets,' Vasquez said.
'We've called it the Access to Hope Initiative because many people end up in the criminal justice system because they are hopeless,' Jenkins said. 'The goal is to create opportunities for engagement and career exploration for our youth and young adults so that they can feel that they have a chance to ascend above their current circumstances.'The Access to Hope Initiative is now accepting applications.
