OUR INTEGRATED APPROACH TO SUPPORTING ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND SOCIOEMOTIONAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Academic Success
We provide strong academic mentorship and enrichment activities that promote skill building, confidence, and a love of learning in a safe, supportive, and innovative environment. Every day at the Club, our skilled and caring staff provide the guidance and encouragement that young people need to progress grades annually and graduate from high school with a plan for the future.
Our signature academic programs include:
• Daily Power Hour (Dedicated homework support.)
• Tutoring (One-on-one and small group sessions.)
• STEM (Hands-on, creative programming that engages youth and sparks an interest in science, technology, engineering, and math.)
• College Prep (Scholarship opportunities, financial aid, test prep classes, career exposures, annual college tour for teens, and more!)
Socioemotional Support And Wellness
Behavioral Health Services is an essential component of our holistic approach to youth development.
Our team of Behavioral Health Specialists:
• Prioritize wellness activities, regular mental health check-ins, and early interventions
• Share coping strategies
• Lead behavioral health training for all Club staff
• Provide individual and family therapy at no cost to families
A Comprehensive Support Network
The pandemic made it clear that there is a high degree of connectivity between a young person’s mental health and their ability to excel academically. To address this, we allocated significant resources toward Education and Behavioral Health Services.
This close collaboration allows us to create a comprehensive support system that supports youth in the most effective way possible and will sustain them well into the future.
“Working at the Tenderloin Clubhouse allows me to be part of a close-knit community of Club staff, families, and local schools. I am proud of how we work together to support members individually and provide them with the resources and encouragement to realize their potential.”
