PROGRAMMING ACROSS ALL CLUBS
Our programming focuses on the whole child: we are passionate about educational success, but we are also passionate about health and wellness, youth leadership, job readiness, sports, fitness, and play, and the arts.
Programming blends daily enrichment across many content areas. Popular activities include STEM, arts and crafts, cooking, community service opportunities, and wellness activities.
In line with Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco’s commitment to healthy lifestyles, members engage in structured and unstructured play time. Staff are trained to facilitate games, activities, and sports so kids have fun and build a strong appreciation for physical activity. Multiple sports leagues are also offered throughout the year and are included as part of a membership.
CLUBHOUSE-SPECIFIC SPECIALTIES
Each of our Clubhouses have some programmatic areas that are unique to their location. For more information on specific Clubhouse program highlights visit www.kidsclub.org/Clubs. Club-specific highlights include:

Several of our Clubs offer classes in acting, musical theater, dance, and performance for youth of all ages.
Several of our Clubs also include high-quality music studios through our partnership with Notes For Notes. Members can work with professional music instructors to learn a new instrument and write and record music.
Through drawing, painting, photography, and more, youth learn to use fine art as a lens into their own lives and a tool to affect positive change.
Our comprehensive swim program offers affordable, high-quality, and safe water smart classes, recreational swim, learnto-swim classes, and competitive swim.
