Empowering San Diego’s Most Vulnerable Youth for a Brighter Future
About Us
Positive Movement Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to providing underserved, at-risk children and youth in San Diego County with the resources, mentorship, and emotional support needed to succeed. By creating strategic partnerships with schools, we provide essential tools and life skills to empower students as they grow.
Our Reach
Since 2022, we’ve been partnering with schools across San Diego County, beginning with Bell Middle School. Today, we proudly support eight schools, including Bell Middle, Knox Middle, Lemon Grove Academy Middle, Willow Elementary, Central Elementary, Chollas Mead Elementary, Sherman Elementary, and Juvenile Court and Community Schools (JCCS). Many of these schools have high populations of socioeconomically disadvantaged students, students experiencing homelessness, foster youth, English learners, and students with disabilities. To maximize impact, we commit to partnerships of at least two years, fostering sustainable, positive change. For schools unable to receive long-term support, we offer targeted, one-time aid based on specific needs.
Our Programs
- Staff Appreciation: Supports educator wellness and retention through appreciation lunches, wellness events, incentives, and experiences designed to improve morale and celebrate the people who show up every day for our students.
