Company History
HISTORY: STRENGTHENING THE WHOLE CHILD, WHOLE FAMILY, WHOLE COMMUNITY SINCE 1971
SAY San Diego has been making a difference for children, families and communities for 45 years. SAY first opened its doors in 1971 with one paid employee, a budget of $1,500, and the goal of providing prevention services to struggling youth. Since then SAY has evolved from a single focused organization to what we are today: an agency whose work encompasses more than 30 programs strengthening the whole child, whole family, and whole community.
