What we do
Create Spaces
The Creative Destination partners with organizations, after-school programs, laundromats, and many more locations to create spaces that promote literacy in underserved communities. These spaces offer a safe and comfortable environment to children who need them.
Why This Matters
Kids in underserved communities have a desire to learn and yearn for the resources to do so. Without a learning space, children are susceptible to negative influences, causing educational backsliding. Our vision is to ensure children have a secure and educational environment to expand their literacy skills and empower our volunteers to create creative destinations for underserved communities around them.

Help us promote digital literacy in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco
Our world is increasingly getting more and more digital. Technology has become an evermore present need in daily life. We recognize this need and have sought to address this by providing technology and digital resources to youth. However, at this time, the equipment is outdated and does not run modern applications at the speed needed for youth to perform at their best. Our goal is to build a modern technology space which will allow all users of the space to excel. Youth deserve the best in all facets of life and with your help, we can provide this to them.

First Project in the tenderloin district of san Francisco
There are approximately 2,500-3,000 children living in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, California. Many of these children lack spaces that allow them to experience the joys of being a child. The Tenderloin has the highest crime rates out of all San Francisco districts. Without a creative outlet to explore their passions, children are susceptible to negative influences such as involvement with drugs and crime, causing educational backsliding.

My focus is to promote education equity for underserved youth through creative literacy spaces. Laundromats, technology labs, and literacy multipurpose room spaces all provide the opportunity to help kids thrive.
