Since 1975, Coleman Advocates for Children & Youth has been working to protect the health and welfare of San Francisco's children. When San Francisco's children need someone to stand up for them -- Coleman has been there -- in City Hall, in our neighborhoods and in the media. Our work has led to expanded afterschool programs, increased services for homeless children, improvements in Juvenile Hall and the creation of jobs for youth. Coleman also led the campaign to pass the landmark Children's Amendment, making San Francisco the first city in the country with a guarantee in its charter protecting funding for children.

Learn more about Coleman's history.

"The success of Coleman's campaign to secure funding for youth programs spawns efforts nationwide."

-- Christian Science Monitor

"Coleman's message is empowering and inspirational ... proof that people can go around the entrenched interests and do what anthropologically healthy societies do: Put Children First."

-- Washington Post

"If you join Coleman -- you will be making a difference for San Francisco's children -- I assure you. People in City Hall listen to what they have to say."

-- Hadley Roff, Former Deputy Mayor for Feinstein, Agnos and Jordan.

PAY (Parent Advocates for Youth) is a diverse group of parents committed to promoting the welfare of San Francisco's children. We believe that high quality city parks are essential to raising healthy, happy children.

Y-MAC (Youth Making A Change)"We are a multicultural group of youth trying to change our world by learning how to help ourselves and other youth. We are helping the youth of today learn how to work together for a better tomorrow. We are working to make the voices of youth heard by the policy makers who make decisions about our lives."
