Redwood City Together Redwood City Together advances the success of youth and families in Redwood City and North Fair Oaks through community collaboration.

Our vision is that all people living in Redwood City and North Fair Oaks are healthy, safe, and successful. We bring our community residents together with local organizations and public agencies to develop and implement a wide range of projects that are focused on building on strengths and addressing needs in our community. Our goals are to reduce the impact of poverty, improve the academic success of students, increase community engagement, and enhance safety. Redwood City Together serves an ethnically diverse population of children, youth, and families from some of the most impoverished and under-resourced neighborhoods in San Mateo County where poverty, violence, and a lack of social services often present barriers to the safety, health, and success of community residents. Redwood City Together brings together key public and private organizations in our community in ongoing efforts to ensure the health and success of all children, youth and families served by the Redwood City School District. While no single organization can address complex community issues, we believe that, together, we can affect the positive change needed in Redwood City and North Fair Oaks.

This month, our team and youth promotores have been out in the community connecting neighbors with food, housing, medical, education, and legal resources. 💛
Thanks to our partners at Fair Oaks Community Center, Redwood City Parks and Recreation, and our partner schools, we’ve already reached 300+ community members one-on-one.
For us, outreach is about building one relationship at a time and showing up with a whole lot of community care.
📍 Over the next 6-8 weeks, find us across Redwood City and North Fair Oaks on our Social Service Outreach Fall Tour. We can’t wait to see you!

On September 26, Redwood City Together joined the St. Francis Center’s 40th anniversary block party, a joyful celebration that drew more than 500 neighbors into the heart of our community.
Our youth promotores and staff connected families with social services, ran activities for children, and pitched in wherever we were needed. Seeing our young leaders serve their own community was a highlight of the day.
The celebration also marked a historic moment: the groundbreaking for the first park to be built in the St. Francis Center community. This new green space will give neighborhood families a place to play, gather, and grow together for generations to come.
St. Francis Center has been a steadfast partner of RWC Together, taking part in our working groups and initiatives. Supporting them on this milestone was a true reflection of our mission: community members and organizations lifting each other up.
Congratulations, St. Francis Center, and thank you for four decades of service.

Nothing beats learning about nature in nature! 🌲⛰️

Yesterday, our Promotores spent an incredible day exploring Huddart Park with San Mateo County Parks and Friends of Huddart&Wunderlich . From navigating the trails to understanding the local ecosystem, hands-on experience is the best way for our youth to share the beauty of our parks with others.

Trips like this directly empower our team to promote the SMC Mariposa Pass a vital program supported by San Mateo Co Parks Foundation that ensures our most vulnerable community members have free, equitable access to the outdoors.

We ended the day the best way we know how: good views, great conversation, and a delicious lunch! 🧺❤️

This summer, 12 community-based organizations across Redwood City and North Fair Oaks opened their doors to create meaningful job opportunities for local youth. But these numbers only tell part of the story. Behind every placement was a community Partner willing to invest in a young person, provide mentorship, build their skills, and help them see themselves as leaders in their community. From the application process in April to youth orientation in June and job placements throughout the summer, our partners played a critical role in making these opportunities possible. We are incredibly grateful to the organizations that made space for our youth and trusted them to contribute to the important work happening in our communities.
To our 12 community-based partners: Thank you for saying “yes” to youth in our community. Your investment goes beyond a summer job, you are helping young people build confidence, develop professional skills, explore careers in public service, and see the impact they can make in their own communities.
Thank you for Senator Josh Beck, District 4 Supervisor Lisa Guathier, and Redwood City Council for recognizing the youth this past month!

We could not be prouder of our Promotores for their incredible dedication to youth development as they were honored last night by the Redwood City City Council. As a collective impact partner, this team continuously creates meaningful youth workforce opportunities both within our organization and through strong multi-sector partnerships across the community.
International Youth Day reminds us that while young people live in diverse national and local realities, their fundamental goals dignity, decent work, quality education, and a sustainable future are universal. First proposed at the 1991 World Youth Forum and officially established by the UN General Assembly in 1999 (with the first observance on August 12, 2000), this global day highlights the importance of supporting all youth, including those in Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
Thank you to our Promotores, our leadership, our partners and community for translating these global ideals into local impact right here in Redwood City and North Fair Oaks! 🌟
