Clowns Without Borders defends the right to play. For 25 years, we've inspired resilience through laughter with people in refugee camps, conflict zones, and crises. As clowns, we SEE the people we’re performing for. In fact, we're performing WITH them! Together with audience members, we twist our bodies, we make funny faces, we juggle ridiculous items, and above all, we laugh. Our clowns aren’t solving geopolitics, preventing global conflict, or taking away trauma. We’re simply showing up — and showing people that they matter enough to laugh, play, and have an extraordinary day.
At Special Need Solutions we create custom made furniture, clothing, devices, and equipment that help individuals with disabilities progress physically, emotionally, and cognitively.

At the Children's Cancer Association (CCA) we empower all seriously ill children to express themselves, to play, and to make meaningful connections by enriching their treatment experience and improving their well-being with joy-based programs. Every moment is precious for seriously ill children and their families. Each year, we reach nearly 40,000 hospitalized children across the country — inviting them to sing, laugh, and play out loud — in order to find joy during life’s most challenging moments. Offered at no cost, our JoyRx Music, Nature and Mentorship programs prioritize the emotional well-being of hospitalized kids.
For 69 years, City Youth Now has been working to provide programs and services that promote stability, personal growth, and academic and career success for youth in the San Francisco Foster Care and Juvenile Justice Systems. Our support extends beyond Juvenile Hall to serve youth in group homes, in extended foster care for 18-22-year-old youth, and in kinship care (care of foster youth by relatives), as well as in the community. CYN has been a key partner in San Francisco's success in drastically reducing youth held in detention and has provided immediate tangible and comforting resources for children, youth and families when a child is removed from their home.
