🥋 Thank you for joining our Self-Defense Workshop! 💗

What an empowering day with SSK Foundation and Blue Dragon Academy — learning how to stay aware, stay strong, and stay confident! 💪✨

Knowing that you can protect yourself isn’t just about safety — it’s about self-worth, confidence, and peace of mind. Every kick, block, and stance is a reminder that you are capable and powerful.

Huge thanks to our amazing instructors and everyone who showed up ready to learn, grow, and support one another. Together, we are building a community that is Strong, Smart, and Kind. 💕

SSK Youth Leadership Camp 2024 – A Weekend to Remember
They arrived shy, unsure, and often alone—but left confident, connected, and inspired.

In just two days at Redwood Regional Park, they:

Hiked trails and built forts with teamwork
Faced fears in self-defense workshops
Found their voices in public speaking
Learned life skills and shared truths by the bonfire
Danced under the stars with glowing hearts

One camper said it best: “I didn’t know I needed this until I was here.”

Thank you to our campers, families, staff, volunteers, and sponsors—you made this transformation possible.

This wasn’t just a camp. It was a movement.
Strong. Smart. Kind. And just getting started.

The Youth Mini Market Program

The Youth Mini Market Program is a 6-week course designed to teach young people the basics of running their own business. It is set up as 5 separate lessons covering various business fundamentals, each hosted by a local Bay Area-based guest speaker. All lessons will be pre-recorded. The content and workbooks will unlock via a code emailed to you each Saturday morning. It is recommended that the lesson and associated workbooks be submitted by the following Friday. All 5 workbooks must be completed to graduate the program. The final week (week 6) participants will have the opportunity to submit questions to a team of experienced booth operators who specialize in youth development.

The course is taught at a sixth grade learning level, ideal for young people aged 11 and up.

All graduating participants will be given the opportunity to host a small booth at this year’s Foster City Fun Run on May 10th, 2025. They can demonstrate their knowledge and earn some well-deserved cash! Please note, booths selling food or drink items will not be permitted without appropriate insurance and certification from the CA Dept of Public Health provided in advance.

Free for the community!

We all experience anxiety from our busy, fast-paced lives. If we don’t know how to manage it, that anxiety can easily turn into stress—and we all know that stress can lead to physical and mental health issues.

That’s why we’re inviting you to join us for a FREE in-person workshop on Understanding and Managing Anxiety with our guest speaker, Mikelle Le, M.A., LMFT. Mikelle is an experienced clinician with decades of expertise in the county mental health system, and she’ll be sharing valuable tools to help you manage anxiety before it turns into stress.
