Taproot Volunteers are on the Job for Youth
(back to top)

San Francisco, CA – Jobs for Youth has been awarded a Service Grant from the Taproot Foundation.  With an estimated value of $50,000, the Taproot volunteers will assist Jobs for Youth in the development of key messages and brand strategy.

Funded by the Department of Children, Youth and their Families and United Way of the Bay Area, Jobs for Youth creates pathways to the local business community that enable young people to strengthen their foundation for success.  The initiative delivers on its mission by coordinating efforts of the public, private, and non-profit sectors to connect qualified and trained youth with private-sector employment.  More information is available at www.jobsforyouth.net
Recognizing that nonprofits have the greatest potential for addressing our communities’ most challenging social and environmental problems, but often lack the operational resources they need to thrive, the Taproot Foundation exists to close this gap. The Taproot Foundation model leverages skills of the business community to provide nonprofits with free, reliable, high-quality services. As the country’s largest nonprofit consulting firm, the organization has engaged over 2,000 business professionals in rewarding pro bono work, delivering more than $21 million worth of services to over 450 nonprofits in Chicago, New York, Boston and the Bay Area.   More information is available at www.taprootfoundation.org.
The Jobs for Youth service grant team will be staffed by Glenn Eagleson, Senior Planner and Policy Analyst - DCYF; Pete Gerharz, Director of Workforce Development – Larkin Street Youth Services; Sonia Gomez, Project Manager; Barbara Hoo, Marketing Manager; Wade Jansen, Copywriter; Sheri Osborn, Account Director; Deepak Sharma, Brand Strategist; and Molly Wertz, Vice President Community Investments – UWBA.   Each service grant team member is volunteering time and service within their area of professional expertise.
