Larkin Street Youth Services provides housing, medical, social, and educational service.

Since 1984, Larkin Street Youth Services has reached over 75,000 young people, ages 12 to 24, through a range of services including outreach, shelter, housing, health, wellness, education and employment. As the largest non-profit provider of services for young people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco, Larkin Street’s scope and impact is incomparable: three out of four young people who complete programs at Larkin Street leave street life behind.

Juneteenth isn't just a holiday. It's a call to action—a reminder that freedom has always required more than a declaration. It requires the work. The open door. The program that sees you. The community that stays.

This year, we're honoring that legacy by celebrating Levar, Deani, and Demareya, Larkin Street Academy's 2026 Valedictorians. Three Black young people who showed up, did the work, and stood at that podium to say: we're still here, and we're just getting started. Swipe to meet them. 🎓

⚠️ The Legislature passed their budget, and the $50 million for CalOES YE and HY Pilot programs still isn’t in it. Now it goes to the Governor. And we still have time to fight.
 
California has already lost nearly 500 youth-specific shelter beds in the past year alone. These programs—which have existed for nearly 10 years—provide young people across the state with shelter, food, housing navigation, and crisis support. Without renewed funding, communities in 12+ counties will lose the only youth-focused crisis response they have.
 
The negotiation between the Legislature and Governor Newsom is happening right now. That means your call still matters.

When the sun’s out, we’re out. ☀️🌁 From grand slams at the ballpark to bowling nights, community center beautification, and AANHPI heritage celebrations—what a season to be us! Grateful for every moment.

⚠️ 66% of young people who walk through our doors have experienced violence or trafficking. And the funding that helps keep them safe is on the chopping block.
 
Sherilyn, our CEO, is calling on you to take action. The CalOES Office of Emergency Services funding provides young people across California with immediate access to shelter, housing, and food—and right now, it’s not in either the Assembly or Senate budget plans.
 
This isn’t just about Larkin Street. It’s about all 12 counties across the state where young people need safety and services right now.
 
Call your legislator TODAY. Scripts + rep numbers pinned in the comments. ⬇️

⚠️ A hot meal. A safe space. A community that actually accepts you. For thousands of young people in California, that’s about to disappear. Our Director of Engagement, Tyrone, explains exactly what’s at stake for young people experiencing homelessness.

Without $50M renewed in the 2026-27 State Budget, programs like ours lose the funding that makes this possible. Right now, neither the Assembly nor the Senate budget plans include these critical funds.

Call your legislator NOW. Scripts + rep numbers pinned in the comments. ⬇️

For too many LGBTQ+ young people, homelessness begins with rejection—from family, from community, from the places that were supposed to feel like home.

Last year, 31% of the 2,093 young people we served identified as LGBTQ+, and 13% as transgender or gender nonconforming. We don't take that trust lightly.

At Larkin Street, Pride isn't just a month; it's a commitment. To showing up with affirming care. To building spaces where young people can exhale. To making sure every person who walks through our doors knows they are worthy of safety, stability, and joy. This June, we celebrate every young person who chose to keep going. We see you, and we are with you.

Happy ! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The budget is being decided right now. Make sure young people aren't left out of it.

The Governor's May Revise left out funding for programs that keep young people off the streets. Calling your senator takes five minutes, and it MATTERS.

Thank you to Senators Wiener, Becker, and Umberg for your support—now we need more voices. Contact your senator today and ask them to fund these life-saving programs.
