Be the Change will be on hiatus for a year. Although there remains a critical need for this program, we will be taking this opportunity to retool the curriculum and raise funds.

Our goal is to recommence the program on a more solid foundation during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. For any questions, please contact Debbie Mytels, Associate Director for Programs, at 650-962-9876 x302 or debbiem*acterra.org
