Black 2 San Francisco summer program is in full swing

Driving the news: Black2SF's first group comprises 60 HBCU students, who will spend six weeks working in paid internships across city offices, including district attorney, city attorney, and recreation and parks.

• Students will work on various projects focused on mental health, economic and food security, education and other community-centered topics.
• They'll also spend their time attending lectures and workshops on "relevant subject areas," according to the release.

What they're saying: Jarrod Lockhart, an instructor at the Morehouse School of Medicine, said in a statement that the summer program can help cultivate the next generation of leaders and scholars "who will continue to champion equity and social justice."

What's next: The program culminates with a select group of students presenting their ideas for advancing community health and well-being at the San Francisco Foundation on July 26.
