Congratulations, Class of 2026!! For the past 2 years, our Youth Ambassadors have brought fresh energy and ideas to the H.A.R.D. Foundation, working alongside our team on projects that strengthen our community, including their work in el Community Mural & Pollinator Garden located at Mt. Eden Park that will be completed this August. This graduating class proudly represented Arroyo, Castro Valley, Hayward, Mt. Eden, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, and Tennyson High Schools. As many of them head off to college this fall, we asked them to reflect on their time in the program — here’s what they had to say.
