As part of the county-wide effort for United for Youth: Vision 2030, Thrive Alliance is working to connect and strengthen San Mateo County’s network of youth-serving nonprofits. Join us on December 2 from 11am-1pm in person for a working lunch with county, university, and funder partners to hear how this work is taking shape and where nonprofits fit in the broader effort.

At the center of the conversation is a new Community of Practice launching in January 2027: a peer network where youth-serving nonprofits can learn from one another, build partnerships, work through shared challenges, and influence the policies and investments affecting youth and families. We will share our initial approach and invite your input, as the Community of Practice will be shaped by the needs and priorities of participating nonprofits. Attendees will have the opportunity to share what would make this network most valuable and learn how their organizations can help define its goals and structure. All nonprofits serving youth in San Mateo County, especially those focused on youth mental health and well-being, are encouraged to attend.

Coffee will be served. The event will be followed by an optional networking lunch.
