What is Health to You?

Oakland YOWs

We're Moving Upstairs

We're currently in the process of transitioning to a new space. While it's not the house that we dreamed of, we're excited to have a new space on the 6th floor to call home. We'll be getting settled in the next few weeks so please bare with us as our phones may be offline. Please email to get in touch and change our address to 235 Montgomery St. Ste. 643!

 Okay, so HIFY believes in youth...
what exactly do we do?


  • Workshops for Youth
    HIFY believes that youth are their own best health advocates, and in order to do so they need information! Check out our Youth Workshops page to find out how you can book the latest and greatest HIFY workshops for youth. Our workshops challenge young people to expand their definitions of health, so we offer a wide variety of topics!

  • Trainings for Youth Providers and Adult Allies
    HIFY believes in the power of youth in partnership with caring adults. In order to fully realize these partnerships, adults need to practice engaging with young people in meaningful ways. We encourage adult allies to check out our Provider Trainings to get hands on experience engaging with youth about sensitive topics.

  • Health Media For and By Youth
    HIFY's Tell It! program supports young people in taking critical thinking one step further. Youth create digital stories on health matters most important to them, and their stories are broadcast on HIFY's You Tube page to spread the word to their peers.

  • Print Material For and By Youth
    Though HIFY is San Francisco based, our publications are a world-wide resource! Learn more about our Survival Guides or find out how your youth group or program can create your own zine!
