We’re excited to officially announce our newest collaboration—StandUp for Kids – San Diego has partnered with the Youth Action Coalition, and the positive impact has already begun to ripple through the community.
Friday night marked our kickoff with young people gathering for shared meals, team-building activities, and personalized case management services. It was more than a night of programming—it was a moment of connection, healing, and hope.
What makes this partnership even more special is that Heather Lezon, Founder of Youth Action Coalition, once served as a StandUp for Kids Center Director. Her journey has come full circle, and her continued commitment to empowering youth is a powerful reminder of how relationships built in service can spark lifelong impact.
This collaboration isn’t just about sharing space it’s about combining missions, maximizing resources, and stretching every donor dollar to reach more young adults across San Diego. Together, we’re expanding our reach, deepening our services, and strengthening the social safety net for those who need it most.
From past connections to future transformation, this partnership stands as a symbol of what’s possible when we work together.
Thank you for standing up with us. 💜
