Students earn a weekly stipend and college credits. Students must have a high school diploma or GED and must turn 18 by January 2010. Students must have legal residency or work authorization.

Produce to the People is a youth development program that provides summer jobs to high school students harvesting excess produce from backyard fruit trees and gardens in San Francisco. The produce is given to local organizations that redistribute free and low-cost food to families and individuals. PttP serves the community on many levels, by creating youth jobs and extracurricular education, by making fresh, healthy food available to people who may not always have access to it, and by diverting waste through a free service to people that may not always have the time, capability or interest to maintain their fruit trees and gardens.
PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE A FRUIT TREE OR GARDEN YOU WOULD LIKE US TO HARVEST, THIS SERVICE IS FREE!! PRODUCETOTHEPEOPLE@GMAIL.COM WWW.PRODUCETOTHEPEOPLE.ORG
First Exposures accepts students ages 11 - 18 recruited from local agencies serving young people with backgrounds of foster care, homelessness, and transitional or low-income living situations. Students enter First Exposures with an interest in learning photography and leave with the skills to pursue their work on a more advanced level or in college. First Exposures provides a creative outlet for students to express themselves in a safe and supportive environment and encourages them to become articulate, confident, and responsible young adults. Participation in the program is voluntary, and students commit to attend class once a week, each Saturday, for at least one academic semester. Most students and mentors stay in the program for one year. First Exposures alumni, stay in touch! Contact Erik Auerbach to let us know what you're up to.

Check out this cool program! Its a 6- 8 week truck driving program! Truck drivers can make a lot of money!
Program Description: The BHTA enrolls Participants from San Francisco County year-round and offers open-entry enrollment depending on seat availability. Classes are offered in the mornings, afternoons and early evenings (during the spring and summer months). The course combines classroom lectures, driving instruction with a tractor trailer (18-wheeler) and hands-on training using a state of the art simulator.
Depending on the Participant’s learning abilities and schedule they may complete the class requirements and attain a Commercial Driver’s License in as few as 40 or as many as 100 hours. Use of the simulator increases the Participant’s comfort level in maneuvering a tractor-trailer; exposes them to a variety of weather (e.g. snow, rain, night, etc.) as well as traffic and hazardous conditions without endangering them or the general public. What is most appealing about the simulator is that it is environmentally friendly because there are no emissions. Cross training on the simulator and behind the wheel prepares Participants to take the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) commercial driver's test using Goodwill’s tractor trailers.
Goodwill Industries' Bayview Hope Truck Driving Academy ("BHTA") a collaboration between Goodwill, City College of San Francisco Evans Campus, and the True Hope Church of God in Christ, is funded in part by donations from Walter and Evelyn Haas, Jr. Fund, the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development, Wells Fargo Bank, the San Francisco Department of the Environment, and the San Francisco Foundation. This collaboration currently allows us to offer this program to qualified Participants at no charge.
