Awarded 2021 #1 Non-Profit in the CA Senate 13th District!Are you looking for ways to contribute "Good" to the challenges of racism? The St. Thomas Aquinas parish Human Concerns Committee is highlighting for you Street Code. They seek to empower communities of color in Silicon Valley with access to the era of technology through skills training, design, coding, entrepreneurship and other pathways to better job opportunities.
These highlights may appeal to your desire to learn more, support with personal engagement and possibly provide financial assistance. It is another way we can become more aware and actively involved improving the lives and future opportunities for these local youth.
Let us work together translating our faith into making a "GOOD" difference for all people!
