Hope Walks Here!
We welcome our Greater SLO Communities to gather together with the Cal Poly SLO campus to support mental health awareness and create a space of hope and understanding.
The Out of the Darkness Campus Walks are the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's (AFSP) signature student fundraising series, designed to engage youth and young adults in the fight to prevent suicide, a leading cause of death.
