Koshland North Central San Mateo Fellow Dr. Charles Hansen published an opinion article in the San Mateo Daily Journal calling for the City of San Mateo to invest in the King Center, a vital community space that is in dire need of improvements.

Working with the Parks and Recreation Department, the Collaborative has hosted cultural events, youth programs and listening sessions that reflect the neighborhood’s strength and aspirations.
