We Keep Us Safe
Whether it's our after-school enrichment and tutoring programs, or life-saving work with Ward 6 Mutual Aid, our mission remains the same: provide Black and Brown youth and families the same resources and opportunities that others in DC already have. Today and into the future.
We deliver food & supplies to families, seniors and people living in encampments.

ADVOCACY
From Urgent to Sustainable
Since March 2020, Serve Your City has served as the lead partner for Ward 6 Mutual Aid, responding to the COVID-19 crisis by coordinating efforts among grassroots organizers, passionate volunteers, and community-based organizations that have been doing the work since long before the pandemic. They include Momma’s Safe Haven, the TraRon Center, Brotha’s Huddle, ONE DC, Training Grounds Inc, and almost three dozen others. Find out more about who we are.
All of our projects are in direct response to needs expressed by our community. This is mutual survival.
“No kid should depend on the love of others to have the things they deserve. If that exists in the world, then it exists for everyone.”
- Maurice Cook, SYC founder
