On a rainy night, Tuesday, December 16th the Fall cohort of BEETS graduated at the Hayes Valley Apartments Community Room. Many family and friends were in attendance, including members of Green Streets [a group of housing development residents and entrepreneurs who have created jobs and established recycling in the distressed San Francisco housing projects where they live], four CommunityGrows Advisory Board members, and BEETS Alumni.
Teens graduating were: Angie Lemus, Anthony Hernandez, Asante Munson, Aylin Soria, Chrislyn Earle, Claudia Williams, Emilia Vedar, Kenya Mack, Kyle Patterson, and Vicente Rivera.
All the teens received certificates and kudos from the staff for the great job they did this fall learning soft job skills, attending workshops, and working with the younger youth in our CommunityGrows programs.
Terrific food was provided by Esposto’s Delicatessen including pastas and salads. Everyone enjoyed the event which held humor and refection in great accomplishments this fall. Congratulations everyone!
