Dawn Stueckle

Co-Founder & Executive Director

Dawn has worked with young people in San Francisco for more than two decades, starting campus-based girls’ support groups at Lincoln High School and A.P. Giannini Middle School in the early 1990s and co-founding in 1992 the organization that would later become Sunset Youth Services. In addition to providing leadership for the nonprofit, managing staff, connecting with donors, and building relationships with young people served by Sunset Youth Services, Dawn partners with numerous community coalitions and city agencies as an advisor, change agent, and voice for the disenfranchised youth of the city.

In 2018 Dawn was elected to co-chair the Juvenile Justice Providers Association (JJPA)–– a consortium of community-based organizations that she helped establish in 2004 and which plays an important role in local policy-making, youth advocacy and has a strong voice in how funds are used to meet the needs of vulnerable youth.

HELP US CONTINUE ESSENTIAL SERVICES TO THE MOST VULNERABLE

A Parklet for the People

In early February, with the help of a small army of staff and volunteers, we began the process of building our new parklet, an outdoor space for socially distanced meetups. Since our youth center space has had to limit how many staff and youth can be in the building at one time, this outdoor area––with its tables, benches, partitions, and roof––will make it possible to meet safely with more young people and families as we continue to provide essential services and supportive relationships during the pandemic.

If you were one of this tireless crew of workers: thank you! Look what you've made possible!
