Other UFC Events
Holiday parties, youth retreats, film premieres and more.
UFC benefits from movie premieres, boutique shopping events, and a variety of other occasions by partnering with companies committed to giving back.
Events for our youth held throughout the year are essential to UFC’s philosophy of working with foster youth to develop familial and communal bonds among each other, UFC staff, and our community as a whole.
Past Events
Readiness Students Participate in Northern California College Tour
Ten College Readiness high school students toured the Northern California campuses of UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley and received crucial information regarding the college admissions process for the UC system. Students experienced college life first hand by taking a class, staying in the dorms and dining on campus. Admissions representatives and student service groups presented to the students about the various services they provide. Students also got the opportunity to experience life outside of the campuses with visits to local attractions.
