When youth hold the camera, they don’t just take pictures — they take charge.

At Club Stride, young people are learning to lead, tell their own stories, and reimagine what’s possible in Solano County.

This is your last chance.
Live Solano Give Solano ends tonight at midnight.
Be part of it. Give today and help build 20 more years of youth-powered impact.

IT’S HERE!

Today is Solano County’s first-ever Day of Giving — and for the first time in 20 years, Club Stride is asking YOU to help carry our mission forward.

“Before Club Stride, I didn’t think my voice mattered. Now, I’ve hosted my first podcast, interviewed city leaders, and even led a campaign at my school. Club Stride gave me the confidence to believe in myself — and to believe I can make a difference in my community.”
— Club Stride Youth Leader

As public funding shifts, we’re leaning into something more powerful: you.

If you’ve ever believed in the power of youth voice, now is the time to act.

👉 www.livesolanogivesolano.org/organization/Club-Stride

A promising future for our youth starts with YOU.

Funding changes, but our mission doesn’t — and neither does our faith in you.

Their message is clear: when youth are heard, doors open for themselves, their peers, and the whole community. 🚪💛

📢 Watch for a youth-led survey coming this week. Your response will help open the door to what’s next.

Does confidence have to be loud?

When most of us picture “confidence,” we imagine someone who speaks up, takes charge, and makes their voice heard. And when we asked middle schoolers about confidence, many echoed that same idea.

But their own answers also revealed something powerful: confidence doesn’t always sound the same. For some, it’s bold and fiery. For others, it’s steady and quiet.

👉 What’s at stake isn’t just how confidence looks — it’s how students see themselves, their self-esteem, and whether they feel like they truly belong.

At Club Stride, we believe every student deserves to have their confidence recognized, whether loud 🔥 or quiet 🌱.

💬 Parents, teachers, and community: how do YOU see confidence show up in your students?
