My Story…
Being a part of JCYC has allowed me to contribute to the San Francisco community in ways that I never thought I'd be able to. As one of the main staff members for JYL (Japantown Youth Leaders), I've been able to help foster the development and capacity of future leaders who will go on to affect great change and create community wherever their lives take them.
For the past 15 years, the San Francisco Aloha Run has brought together individuals of all ages and backgrounds to join an uplifting and healthy movement that supports the local community. The 2025 San Francisco Aloha Run is a platform for all of us to educate and lead by example through individual acts of kindness and hope.
Proceeds from the 2025 San Francisco Aloha Run will support the JCYC Scholarship Programs, which support young people in pursuing higher education. This year, the organization is excited to announce that funds raised from the run will be used to support the Julie Matsueda Believe Scholarship in addition to supporting the Excellence, Pathways, and Thomatra Scott Scholarship programs!
