Huckleberry Success Story: Amina
First-Generation College Student
Huckleberry Wellness Academy
“Huckleberry Wellness Academy was a stepping stone. Participating in the program helped me want to continue with school. Vicky was so supportive and if not for HWA, I wouldn’t have gotten into many of the schools that accepted me.”
After receiving her bachelor’s degree, Amina went on to NYU and got a master’s degree in Social Work. She is currently a therapist in Los Angeles at St. Anne’s Maternity Home for Teenagers.
Huckleberry Success Story: Lateefah
Huckleberry Client
BART Board of Directors, District 7
“My mom was a single mom and I was raised in the Western Addition… Drugs had really surrounded our community and there weren’t a lot of places to go. Finding Huckleberry changed my life.
The organization became a safe place for me. I’m forever thankful for the grace and the profound direction that the staff, care team, and case managers put me on.”
Huckleberry Success Story: Martin
First-Generation College Student
Huckleberry Wellness Academy
Pursuing a PhD in Biology at MIT
“I originally wanted to pursue music but after interning at UCSF, an internship HWA helped me get, I saw a potential new career plan. Without HWA, I wouldn’t have been as motivated to pursue science.” For the past year, Martin has been conducting neuroscience research at the National Institute of Health, investigating the molecular basis of memory encoding.
In Aug. 2018, he will begin work on his PhD in Biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Huckleberry Youth Programs recently engaged with youth at Willie L Brown, Jr. Middle School's Career Fair! Huckleberry staff used a spinning wheel to discuss different careers within youth development, specifically, what would a career at Huckleberry Youth Programs look like, i.e., Health Education Coordinator, Case Manager, Executive Director, Director of Development, etc. Our staff answered questions about the various roles in youth development work:
What does a typical work day look like? What are the educational or training requirements for this career?
What skills must a person possess to succeed in this field?
What is one thing the presenter likes about their career?
This was their first annual career fair but it was such a success, we are confident it will continue! Thank you Willie L. Brown Jr. Middle School!
