Seen52 is a pilot organization that seeks to provide a joyful, stable environment, trauma-informed community, and meaningful learning pathways to young people impacted by the child welfare system so that each youth is empowered with the tools necessary for thriving, healthy independence.
In the
fall of 2021, we piloted
Project re:Fresh, which offered middle and high school youth in Alameda County a unique opportunity to refresh social muscles and academic skills through projects and trips.
(Watch this 2-minute end of year recap video).
