San Francisco’s District 6, which includes the South of Market neighborhood, Civic Center neighborhood, and Treasure Island, is hosting four Summer Learning Week events
Filipino American Development Foundation: FEC Galing Bata Program
Padayon sa Kapwa: Learn, Lead, Belong Through Service: Our Padayon sa Kapwa: Learn, Lead, Belong Through Service event was a youth-led, station-based experience that engaged students in meaningful acts of service, cultural learning and community connection. Grounded in the Filipino value of kapwa or shared identity and interconnectedness, this event provided students with opportunities to care for others both locally in San Francisco and globally. Middle school students and high school interns lead interactive stations that included assembling “Balikbayan Boxes”, or care packages, with donated items for communities in need in the Philippines; creating community care kits with hygiene and snack items for neighbors/seniors in San Francisco; making personalized affirmation tote bags and pins alongside writing letters of appreciation to community helpers; and participating in a reflection station where students shared what it meant to care for others. Students also took part in a cooking station where they prepared simple Filipino meryenda/snacks, to share with families and community members as an act of care and connection. Through hands-on service, cultural expression and reflection, students deepened their sense of belonging and recognized their role in contributing to a more connected and caring San Francisco community.

Bright Future: Our City Shines: Students engaged in a project to identify a problem in San Francisco and propose a solution. Over the course of the project students developed an idea to tackle what they view as the most important issues in our city. Students prepared a presentation board with their solutions including a budget, plan of action, and solutions for the challenges they anticipated. Our culminating event, Bright Future: Our City Shines, gave students the opportunity to present their projects at City Hall- sharing with today's leaders their ideas for addressing the needs of the city. Students gave brief presentations to event attendees and a panel of judges as they circulated through the event. Awards were given at the end of the event to recognize the best projects in each age group.

Summer Learning FUN-Day: Our Summer Learning Week event reflected the “Learn, Lead, Belong” theme by giving youth a space to stay curious, step up, and feel connected. Kids took part in hands-on activities like STEM, arts, and literacy, while also building leadership through teamwork and group projects. Just as important, the program created a welcoming environment where everyone felt included, supported, and part of a community.
