TOMORROW! ⛳️

Our group youth will come together at Topgolf for a day focused on goal setting, personal growth, leadership, and expanding their vision for the future. Through the Aim Higher experience, youth are encouraged to think beyond their current circumstances and take meaningful steps towards achieving their goals.

Thank you to our supporters, partners, and donors who help make opportunities like this possible. Follow us for event highlights and future opportunities!

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. 🇺🇸

At the April Parker Foundation, service remains at the heart of everything we do. Today we pause to recognize the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of those who gave their lives for the freedoms we hold today.

We remember. We honor. We continue the mission through service to our community.

For 7 years, the April Parker Foundation has stood on the belief that when people are given support, guidance, and opportunity...entire communities can change.

What started as one woman’s vision became a movement dedicated to serving youth, families, and individuals facing homelessness, uncertainty, and barriers to success. April founded this organization with a mission rooted in action to create safe spaces where people are empowered to build better futures.

From mentorship and workforce development to community outreach and worker's rights outreach, each program is designed to restore hope and reinstate the power of community support.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we stand with every young person, family, and community member navigating life’s challenges. Healing begins with conversation. Hope grows through connection, and no one should have to struggle alone.

At the April Parker Foundation, we're committed to creating safe spaces for support, mentorship, healing, and opportunity because mental wellness matters at every stage of life.

Let this month be a reminder to check in on yourself, reach out to someone you love, and give yourself grace along the journey. 💚

Happy Birthday to our Founder, April Parker! 🎉

Today we celebrate more than a birthday. We celebrate a vision, a voice, and a relentless commitment to changing lives.

The foundation started as a drive to make a difference in her community. And still, her wish is simple: ending youth homelessness. Join us in honoring April today by giving the gift that matters most!

The message this today was clear:

We can’t solve community challenges in silos.

California Connects is pushing all of us to think bigger, partner deeper, and build forward.

Proud to be in the room.
Even more committed to the work ahead.
