Huckleberry's mission is to educate, inspire, and support under-served youth to develop healthy life choices, to maximize their potential, and to realize their dreams. Since 1967, we have accomplished this by providing San Francisco and Marin youth and their families with a network of services and opportunities by caring peers and adults.

For 50 years, we have partnered with teens and families to overcome adversity. Huckleberry strengthens families and empowers young people with services that promote safety in times of crisis, physical and emotional health and well-being, social justice in communities facing inequality, and educational success. When all youth succeed, the entire community is stronger.

We seek to empower young people to develop and maintain healthy relationships as well as promote their talents, ideas, leadership and health; to assist youth and their families in overcoming the obstacles they may encounter, which can include family concerns, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health challenges, teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, violence, social and economic inequities, and physical and sexual abuse; and to assist clients in navigating complex social welfare, educational and juvenile justice systems.

Our San Francisco programs include:
Huckleberry House - Crisis Shelter - Health Career Training & College Access
Huckleberry Youth Health Center - Health Care & Health Education
Counseling Services
Huckleberry Community Assessment & Resource Center - Juvenile Justice Diversion

Our Marin programs include:
Huckleberry ACE (Access to College Equity) Academy - Health Career Training & College Access
Huckleberry Youth Health Center - Health Care & Health Education

All of Huckleberry's services for youth and their families are provided free of charge.
