Mayor Daniel Lurie doubled down on the city’s efforts to support Black youth in San Francisco, confirming the continuation of two prominent programs to propel job opportunities for the demographic. Opportunities for All (OFA) and Black 2 San Francisco (B2SF) are the focal points of this renewed commitment, serving as vehicles to create economic mobility and professional grounding for young Black residents, as per the City and County of San Francisco.

The Mayor stressed the importance of incorporating the city's Black community into the broader economic landscape, declaring, "San Francisco’s Black community is essential to a thriving city economy," as he announced the initiatives during a press briefing, as cited by the City and County of San Francisco. Supervisor Shamann Walton echoed this sentiment, adding that "Investing in our young Black residents is investing in San Francisco’s future," pointing out the steep decline of the city’s Black population over the decades and noting the link these programs have to broader reparative efforts, they both view these initiatives as a key strategy for community retention and empowerment. According to him, the population has dwindled from 13% in the 1970s to less than 5% today.

OFA, initiated in 2018, opens its doors once again on February 24 to San Franciscans aged 13 to 24, offering a six-week paid internship that spans from June 23 to August 1, aiming to pave pathways of economic progression through the city. Meanwhile, B2SF is set to nurture a new cohort of 70 students, rallying a combination of local college residents and peers from HBCUs for a summer cross-cultural experience that not only spans city government and the private sector but also integrates essential financial literacy and community investment seminars into its framework.
