Seven Tepees Youth Program
	Diversity   Community   Education

Our Mission Seven Tepees Youth Program is dedicated to impacting the lives of promising inner-city youth. Our mission is to work with urban youth entrusted to our care to foster the skills they need to make lifelong positive choices and to create their own opportunities for success.	Our Name The name Seven Tepees represents the diversity of the seven continents as well as the Native American tradition of connection to nature and care of the land. The richness of the world's cultures is an integral part of all program components.
Our Philosophy Our program targets inner city youth and works with them for a period of seven years. We provide them with the building blocks that will help them create positive, successful futures for themselves. Youth are encouraged in social competency, academic skills, healthy self-esteem, exposure to new options, and increased understanding and appreciation of their natural environment. Seven Tepees has received local and national recognition as an innovative youth program and serves as a model to other youth service organizations.
		What's new Seven Tepees has moved! With more meeting and workshop space, our new location will accommodate our growth. We are now located in the Mission district at 17th Street and South Van Ness Avenue. Our new site comes just at the right time as we are expanding our services and our student base.
