Key Program Partners

These Santa Monica–based champions have helped Bahala launch some of our most impactful programs. With their contributions, our collective efforts have reached far more local residents, families, and students.

Community members plant, water, weed, and harvest at Bahala’s plot in the Park Drive Community Garden.

Costume-making workshops don’t get any better than at Rediscover Center—and Bahala makes sure more local families get to join in.

Partnering on the Sticks and Stones workshop series and the Resource Fair brought together SMMUSD families, students, educators, and administrators to confront hate speech and strengthen a shared commitment to inclusion and compassion.

Tackling misinformation at an annual conference and helping micro-grant leaders grow their programs.

Connecting students to hands-on, real-world experiences and classroom project-based learning opportunities.

Beach and park clean-up days gave students meaningful community service opportunities.

With this partner’s guidance, Playground Playdates became more than fun afternoons; they created space for kids to grow, learn, and thrive together.

More SPONSORS, More Impact

The more hands and hearts involved, the stronger the community becomes. We’re always looking for companies, organizations, and small businesses who want to roll up their sleeves and make something great happen. If that sounds like you, reach out to Deb Burgin at deb@bahala.org and let’s get started.

Every Bahala program is a reflection of the people who believe in this community. We can’t wait to see what we’ll build next—together.
