BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF SAN FRANCISCO PROGRAM YEAR 2023-2024 SUMMARY
Since 1891, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF) has provided high-quality, community-based youth development services to youth in San Francisco and beyond. Our mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. We impact the lives of Club members, primarily ages six to 18. Our Clubs are located in neighborhoods with the fewest resources, and we are open when kids need us the most — after school and all day during the summer.
