WHO ARE WE
At Club Stride, we believe young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow—they are leaders today. For more than two decades, we’ve provided youth across Solano County with the skills, mentorship, and opportunities to rise as confident storytellers, advocates, and
changemakers.

WHY CLUB STRIDE EXISTS

Too often, young people—especially youth of color—carry the weight of barriers in school and community life. These barriers can silence their voices, limit their opportunities, and hold back their potential.

Club Stride ensures those barriers don’t define their future. Through civic education, digital media training, and school-based programs, we create a circle of support where every student is heard, valued, and prepared to lead.

We wholeheartedly believe in the incredible potential of our youth. They are the key to building a prosperous and equitable community, and we're here to support them every step of the way. That's why we strategically invest in them, empowering them with  specialized training and opportunities for career development.  

OUR IMPACT

Up the Blue Stairs

  • 20+ years of service to Solano youth

  • 500+ students trained in civic leadership, digital storytelling, and advocacy

  • 100% of alumni report Club Stride prepared them for future success

“Club Stride helped me build my resume, formulate the essay that got me into Howard University, and fueled me to major in Political Science. Through Club Stride, I got an internship with Congressperson Mike Thompson, and I learned that as a community we can conquer it all.”


— Raven Manigault, Club Stride Alumni

Generation Impact

Our youth are healing, building skills, and leading change right now:

  • In classrooms, they’re producing radio broadcasts about mental health and school safety.

  • In neighborhoods, they’re leading action projects for equity and connection.

  • In their futures, they’re entering college, careers, and leadership roles with confidence.

Live Solano Give Solano 2025

This year during Live Solano Give Solano, your donation fuels one of our most exciting initiatives: the Middle School Media & Radio Broadcast Program.

Picture this: A nervous 12-year-old steps up to the mic. With encouragement and training, her voice grows stronger. By semester’s end, she’s confidently interviewing peers and producing broadcasts that inspire change across her school.

Your gift makes this transformation possible—and thanks to our Matching Club, every dollar is doubled.
