“BJM is busier than ever in serving this community and they need our support. The pandemic has amplified the vulnerabilities of girls in the Tenderloin. Distance learning, food insecurity, social isolation, family economics, and worsening neighborhood conditions are realities that each of these girls face. Yet their bright futures are not cancelled! BJM staff are maintaining close personal relationships with each of the girls they mentor and walking with them during this season. They have pivoted all of their programming to be virtual or socially distant and provide invaluable creative outlets, opportunities for healthy movement, and enriching education support. Now, more than ever, is the time to invest their lives.”
