On Wednesday, June 28, volunteers from the Warriors and Accenture will refurbish the Employment Training Classroom at Larkin Street Youth Services, San Francisco’s largest nonprofit provider for young people navigating homelessness, a disproportionally high number of which identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. The refurbishment of the classroom, which houses Larkin Street Youth Services’ workforce entry program, will include technology, furniture and décor upgrades to support hybrid opportunities for the youth served.
