Our mission is to enhance the lives of the people in our community through programs for youth, families & seniors.

Last month, during Latino Heritage Month, students in the Latino Unidos Club at Galileo High School brought their culture and traditions to the school community through a student-led assembly. 💙

Sponsored by TEL HI Futurama team member Edelle, club members planned and presented the school-wide celebration for their peers. It was a chance to share what matters to them, build connections, and celebrate the many stories and traditions within their community.

The students’ work made the assembly a celebration of their heritage and a moment to share it with the entire school community.

🏀 Let's make the next big win happen at TEL HI! Help renew TEL HI's gym, the heart of our North Beach community!

For more than 70 years, our gym has been a place where children play and learn, older adults stay active, families celebrate, and neighbors come together. After decades of daily use, this well-loved space needs our care.

This season, we’re raising $150,000 to renovate TEL HI's gym, including refinishing the floor and court lines, repainting and adding wall padding, replacing outdated doors and the scoreboard, and upgrading lighting controls.

Give $250 or more and add your name to one of our five donor recognition banners, becoming part of the next chapter of a space that has served generations of our community. 💙

Swipe through to see our renovation vision, explore giving levels, and find safe and secure ways to donate.

🍽️ Last month, TEL HI’s Aging & Older Adults Program participants got a behind-the-scenes look at where TEL HI's daily hot lunches come from during the monthly field trip!

Participants toured Project Open Hand's headquarters, a longtime TEL HI partner, learning about the work that goes into preparing thousands of meals each day. Project Open Hand produces around 2,500 hot meals, 1,400 breakfasts, and 1,800 frozen meals daily, thanks to more than 400 dedicated employees and volunteers. 👏

Our participants gained a new appreciation for the people and process behind the meals they enjoy at TEL HI every weekday. Project Open Hand has also supported TEL HI community events over the years, including our Thanksgiving Lunch and North Beach Place Turkey Drive.

Thank you to Project Open Hand for welcoming our group and for your continued partnership nourishing our community's aging adults and adults with disabilities! 💜

💡 Yesterday, TEL HI turned the lights on for after school programs across San Francisco!

All four of our K-12 afterschool sites celebrated Lights On Afterschool, a nationwide celebration recognizing the important role afterschool programs play for students, families, and communities.

Across our ESA programs at TEL HI North Beach and Mission Bay Elementary School, Beacon program at Middle School, and Futurama program at Galileo High School, students celebrated with creative lightbulb-themed activities. 🎨 They colored worksheets, crafted construction-paper lightbulbs, and decorated posters and photo frames while sharing what they love most about afterschool.

Together, their creations highlighted why afterschool matters: giving young people safe, enriching places to learn, play, build friendships, and explore interests, while giving families peace of mind that their children are being cared for after the school day ends. 💛

We’re proud to keep the lights on for TEL HI students each and every school day!
