Made In San Jose.org is a community development platform centered around building a healthy, sustainable San Jose from the people up!
“The people” meaning all the generations have a role and share a common community focus of promoting youth leadership from k-12 that leads to the production of Alumni, who mentor Student Government Associations, they once attended as students.
The more Alumni a community produces, the more developed the community will become!
This vision is called Familyhood.
Familyhood is an systemic approach of building healthy, sustainable communities utilizing schools, (their location, their inter-generational population, their legacy and leadership of their youth) to be center of the communities development.
Familyhood is a 20 year vision.
Made In San Jose. .org is a partner site to assist in growing towards Familyhood’s 20-year vision.
Familyhood is driven by two mottoes’:
1) Every school shall have a functioning Student Government Association, Parent Teacher Association and Alumni Association’s.
