Live in Peace shows that deep community roots and a family-style approach can support young people facing economic insecurity and unequal access to opportunity.
It didn't take long for Heather Starnes-Logwood to realize that the pandemic was going to change everything for Live In Peace, the East Palo Alto non-profit she directs.
Live in Peace is a nonprofit in East Palo Alto dedicated to help at-risk youth succeed in school, but COVID-19 has challenged the group to help in a new way with the "First of the Month" campaign.
#FirstOfTheMonth officially launches today with a $2 million fund goal after surpassing its initial goal of $1 million thanks to local nonprofits, small donors and tech leaders.
