Westmont in San Francisco

Last week, we welcomed Dr. Greg Spencer to the city for an alumni event Old Skool Cafe, founded by one of our WSF alums! Thank you for stopping by - we hope you enjoyed your time in the city!

It’s turning spring in San Francisco! We’re soaking up some warmer weather on the porch and playing games after dinner! How do you welcome a new season?👀

We couldn’t start off the new year posting on Facebook again without introducing our newest staff members - Angelie (left) and Cat (right)! Cat and Angelie are recent graduates in May of 2025 and have been with us since then! They are both alums of the program and we are so excited to have them back.

As some of you might know, this spring will sadly be the last semester of our legacy program for the foreseeable future, so we are feeling super sentimental here at the Jackson House where it all began. But, we are so excited to turn this last semester on our social media into an ode to San Francisco and a look back into how the program has affected so many people. If you would like to share your story about the program and how it has impacted you, please reach out by messaging us or email [email protected]. We would love to feature your stories!

We love our partnership with City Hope! Such an inspiration for our Westmont students and for all of San Francisco!

Happy Halloween from the ‘24 cohort 🎃🧡

The cohort went on a ℝ𝕆𝔸𝔻 𝕋ℝ𝕀ℙ to…
📍 Soul Grind Coffee Roasters ☕️
📍 Montara Lighthouse 🌊
📍 …and Taco Bell Cantina 👀
How are we already halfway through the semester?!

We’re heading down to this week!! We hope to see you in the Founders Room on Thursday and Friday at 6 PM to learn more about our program. 📚🌉📝

And they’re off! Week 1 of internships are underway 🎉🎉. From education and business to hospitality and law, students are connected at sites across the city for on-the-job experience in professional fields of interest. 🙌🏾🙌🏿🙌🏼

City Hope! Students jump in to serve our neighbors, enjoy fellowship, and learn from the City Hope team’s commitment to developing meaningful and enduring relationships in the Tenderloin District. Full circle moment when WSF alumna, Paige MacLaren, is orienting students to the City Hope ministry, after interning there as a Westmont student herself only a few years back! Thank you Paige and City Hope 🎉💛

Wsf—> internships—> jobs. It happens :)

Ice cream fueled and ready to go—welcome to our Fall 2024 cohort!! 🎉🎉

Although San Francisco is a big city there are pockets of nature around every corner! Here’s a few examples of all the fun natural spots around the city:

1. Golden Gate Recreational Area
2. Japanese Tea Garden
3. Broadway, a few block from the Jackson house
4. the Presido
5 Alta Plaza Park
6. Hydrangeas on the street
