At The Stephens Foundation, we define South Sacramento not only by its geography, but by the lived experiences of the people who call it home. Our map reflects the real boundaries felt by the community — the schools our children attend, the parks where families gather, and the streets that connect our daily lives.
While official city lines mark Districts 5 through 8, our definition of South Sacramento comes from the people themselves — from Oak Park to Meadowview, Florin to Valley Hi. These neighborhoods share deep cultural roots, stories of resilience, and a common vision for opportunity and growth.
Through our programs and partnerships, The Stephens Foundation works to unify South Sacramento — bridging districts, elevating local voices, and building connections that strengthen every corner of our community.
This is South Sacramento as we live it — defined by unity, resilience, and shared purpose.
Do you live or work in the South Sacramento community, we want to hear from you!
