Here's What the Two Mayoral Candidates

Say About Reality Changers --

You Decide!

Carl DeMaio,
Councilman (D-5),
Talks Reality Changers

"San Diego is fortunate to have several outstanding non-profit organizations that provide successful after-school programs such as the Boys and Girls Club, Reality Changers, After School All-Stars, Say San Diego, and the Children's Initiative...

DeMaio is committed to investing in after-school programs because he believes they are a core-function of the neighborhood services that the City should provide to families and taxpayers. He also understands how vital after-school programs are for our youth and will fully restore the City's role in after-school programming.

Specifically, DeMaio proposes to... increase the number of after-school programs located on City owned property."

Bob Filner,
U.S. Congressman (D-51),
Talks Reality Changers

"As mayor, Bob Filner's goal is to restore the priority of youth services and resources among both public and private sectors...

The city will partner with nonprofits like Reality Changers to use under-utilized and vacant city lots for college preparation and training for high-school youth. Other potential partners include non-profit organizations, such as the San Diego Center for Children and San Diego Youth Services, that support the disenfranchised youth in the San Diego area."

like Reality Changers
to send students to college even when neither
of their parents
have ever been."
