Friends for Youth At Genentech

-->

Last week Friends For Youth participated in the Genentech Give Back Week, a special week devoted to employee volunteerism. We met with our group of Genentech volunteers and split into teams to spend the afternoon canvassing the North Peninsula communities in order to post as many mentor recruitment fliers as possible. Friends for Youth is especially in need of male volunteers in the Northern San Mateo County to match with the boys on our waiting list, and this activity will undoubtedly help us to spread the word about the need for mentors. Afterward we all got together for some refreshments back at Genentech and celebrated our accomplishments.

Thank you to everyone who came out to join us and to the many local businesses who agreed to post our fliers. Friends for Youth is grateful for the chance to reach out to the community in partnership with Genentech.
