The Leo M. Shortino Family Foundation Increases Family & Children Services’ Teen-FAST Program’s Impact Over Time
Caminar’s Family & Children Services division has led Teen-FAST programs for almost two decades in Santa Clara County. Teen-FAST is an evidence-based afterschool program developed by Families and Schools Together, Inc. The Teen-FAST program is widely recognized as a strategy that works to empower at-risk youth to make positive life choices and strengthen families.
One of our major supporters, the Leo M. Shortino Family Foundation based in San Jose, has contributed $140,000 to Teen-FAST over the past seven years. The Shortino Foundation’s partnership has been critical to introducing the program to new sites and schools. With their support, we served hundreds of teen participants last fiscal year (568). The Shortino Foundation’s work focuses on high-impact services that strengthen K-12 students’ school success by building pathways for underserved students to meet their educational and career goals and contribute positively to the community. We have addressed our common priorities and work with Kim Guptill, Grants Manager. She recently shared:
“It is our honor to support you all. Your work is incredibly important,
and we appreciate the difference you make in our community!”
