What is the One City Forum?

The One City Forum was established by sf.citi to connect our members, their employees, local partners and nonprofits, and the greater San Francisco community. The Forum meets regularly to plan events, build partnerships, and discuss difficult issues facing San Franciscans, including homelessness, education, workforce development, and more. Forum members help educate, raise awareness, and champion a collaborative approach towards addressing San Francisco’s greatest challenges.

sf.citi partnered with Larkin Street Youth Services to host the second edition of One City Gives, an industry-wide day of volunteering to support our local community ahead of the holidays. Hosted at Zendesk, 2019’s One City Gives event focused on the more than 1,100 young people who experience homelessness on any given night in San Francisco. We brought together close to 100 tech volunteers to pack kits filled with basic essentials and hand-written holiday cards. Volunteers then delivered the completed kits to Larkin Street’s main center in the Tenderloin where they were distributed to young people throughout the City.
