At TAYSF, or San Francisco’s Transitional Age Youth Initiative, we work closely with public and private agencies to create a strong system of support for the more than 7,000 San Francisco youth and young adults, ages 16-24, who are in need of coordinated services so that they can enjoy healthy transition to adulthood. We recognize that many young people experience multiple systems, and yet the systems do not intersect, communicate or support young people comprehensively, for this reason we prioritize our advocacy on the transition needs of the following youth:
- Involved in Public Systems
- Dropped Out of High School
- Homeless
- Living with Disability or Special Need
- Pregnant or Parenting
Since our inception in 2008, TAYSF has successfully advocated for the inclusion of transitional age youth as a priority population in housing development, supported improvements to education and employment services and has worked collaboratively with other agencies to increase health access for older youth and young adults.
