Located at 10 middle and high schools in Napa and American Canyon the programs annually serve 150 + youth, a majority of whom are Latinx. Participants also include students of color and those that identify as LGBTQ+. The program features include evidence-based curricula, supportive relationships and inspiring leadership opportunities. Students learn about and develop tools to navigate sensitive issues such as body image, relationships and substance use. Mariposa and Bridging Brothers meet the needs of Napa’s youth by providing vital social-emotional support in a safe space to support growth and self-actualization.
