Thank you to the Fog Rally 2023 for their unwavering support of Side By Side and inviting us to their elegant gala last Thursday night in San Francisco's Presidio. We had a blast. We only wish we could have driven away in one of the sleek Ferraris park in front.

Lots of learnings, connections, and fun at last we

Lots of learnings, connections, and fun at last week's California Alliance of Child and Family Services Conference in San Diego.

The conference theme highlighted the importance of being present in the moment while looking to the future of child welfare in California. The conference was an exciting event, filled with informative sessions, engaging speakers, and valuable networking opportunities.

The California Alliance of Child and Family Services Conference aims to bring together experts in child welfare, juvenile justice, mental health, education, and other systems to develop solutions for systemically underserved children and families. Through their collaborative efforts, they aim to forge partnerships and foster relationships among agencies and organizations that impact these populations.

Just a few weeks back, our Petaluma High School youth and the YouThrive team headed to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (by-the-way-of In-N-Out, yum!).
