SOMOS Mayfair

Somos Mayfair cultivates the dreams and power of the people of Mayfair through cultural activism, social services, and community organizing. We are generations of immigrants, rooted in a vibrant community who nurture healthy families and successful students, and who speak out for justice in Silicon Valley. Somos Mayfair’s work takes place through the In Our Hands Campaign – putting directly into the hands of our community that which we can move forward ourselves and that which we can hold together with allies from across the region. In Mayfair we define that work as preparing our children to succeed in school from the first day of kindergarten and nurturing healthy families at home and in the streets of Mayfair. Towards these goals, Somos Mayfair organizes a broad network of neighborhood leaders who are building a grassroots movement of families working together in our homes, our parks, our community centers, our churches and in our streets. This movement calls Mayfair families to work together to ensure that: 1) Our children enter Kindergarten fully ready for school; 2) Our children are proficient readers by the end of third grade; and 3) Our families foster daily practices of good nutrition, exercise and emotional self-care.
