PARTI Program

What PARTI Program does

PARTI Program is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth development organization founded in 2000 and headquartered in San Jose, California. It serves disenfranchised youth through four core program pillars: High Impact (character and life-skills development), Leadership/Mentorship (workforce readiness and financial literacy), Fusion & Arts (digital arts and event production), and Health/Wellness. Programming is delivered via school-based, after-school, evening, and summer modalities across four California counties — Santa Clara, Alameda, San Mateo, and Los Angeles — and the organization claims to have reached 50,000+ youth over 25 years of operation.

The organization does not operate a proprietary technology platform; delivery is people-driven through partnerships with schools, local chambers of commerce, civic leaders, and corporate sponsors. Programmatic technology references (e.g., "Fusion & Arts" digital arts and event production) describe youth-facing curriculum rather than internal infrastructure. Operational scale is small, with a stated employee range of 1-10.

Revenue is sourced from a mix of foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, government funding, event proceeds, and individual donations. Named supporters include Sobrato Philanthropies, the San Francisco 49ers Foundation, and Kaiser Permanente. Founder Winston Ashby has served as Executive Director since inception and remains the central operational leader alongside a Leadership Director, Christian Hampton. Strategic positioning in 2025-2026 emphasizes flagship events (ExPosure Bullying Prevention at San Jose City Hall), the Financial Education Awards program expansion, and deepening engagement with school-district channels via CADA Conference 2026.
