About This Cause
ConXión to Community (ConXión) is a community-based, non-profit 501c(3), which has successfully provided education, workforce, behavioral health and other social services to disconnected youth and adults since 1977. *BRIGHT FUTURES is a program of ConXión (see description below). We believe in a holistic approach that truly addresses the many barriers and needs that our participants face on a daily bases, such as--financial, housing, substance abuse, truancy, gang violence, domestic violence, language and school failure. Because of the immigrant makeup of San José, ConXión is sensitive to the special cultural and language needs of monolingual and bilingual participants. We do not discriminate based upon race, class, gender, ethnicity, age, disability or sexual orientation. Ninety-five percent of our staff speak, read, and write Spanish. We are committed to people, partnerships and long-term solutions that will bring about social equity for all. With this in mind, we ask you to join us to expand the circle of hope by your generous giving of your time and resources so that together, we can make a difference for a better and brighter future for those less fortunate in our community. BRIGHT FUTURES: Transforming the Lives And Futures Of Our Youth & The Adults Who Support Them Bright Futures is a community of youth and caring adults who support each other in developing personal responsibility and an inspiring vision for their lives. We provide vulnerable, under-performing and low income youth in San Jose with extensive support to help them discover and achieve their potential. Bright Futures supports youth in understanding they have the ability to make new life choices regardless of their past and current life circumstances. The life changing curriculum provides tools to cultivate self-awareness and support youth in making conscious choices that move them in the direction of their goals and dreams for the future. Youth are supported in living the programs’ four cornerstones—integrity, responsibility, community and possibility—through coaching and role modeling by the Bright Futures staff and community of volunteer mentors. Bright Futures has 18-year track record for success and has been among the top-rated intervention programs by the San Jose Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force.
