Supervisor Eric Mar with BOS commendation recipient, Nino Parker.
At Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, Supervisor Eric Mar presented a commendation to Nino Parker, a Richmond District resident and staff member at SF Pretrial Diversion, a non-profit that offers first-time misdemeanor offenders an alternative program of education, rehabilitation and community service work.
As part of his work with youth at SF Pretrial Diversion, Parker works with the SFDPW’s Graffiti Clean Team Projects to remove graffiti around the city. His “crew” is made up of first time misdemeanor offenders of non-violent charges, providing them with a court-approved opportunity to have their case dismissed by completing a program.
In honor of his work with youth in the community, Parker’s commendation from the Board of Supervisors reads:
To honor your dedication and hard work servicing the diverse community of San Francisco and the Richmond District, for your leadership and mentorship of disadvantaged youth, and for your devotion to helping those who need it most, the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco extends its highest commendation.
Parker is a San Francisco native and attended both Roosevelt Middle School and George Washington High School here in the neighborhood. He lives in the Outer Richmond district with his 3-year old son.
