Mission Clubhouse

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco strictly adheres to City and County COVID-19 health guidelines for youth services. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have continuously provided extra safety precautions to protect the health of our youth, staff, and community and we will continue to do so.

The Mission Clubhouse was the first Boys & Girls Club built west of the Mississippi River, dating back to 1928. In 2010, the Clubhouse re-opened after a dramatic fullscale renovation.

Please contact us directly for current hours and fees as we continue to adjust our programming to meet the evolving situation. *All images without masks are prepandemic photographs.

Today, the Club serves approximately 145 youth per day and is a critical resource for young people in a largely Latino immigrant community.

The Clubhouse facility features a middle school-sized gymnasium, learning center, technology center, art studio, high school services center, multi-purpose room and games room.

Mission CLUBHOUSE

What We Do Every day at the Club, we provide highquality programs and support services that allow youth to leave us at age 18 “ready for life”. As soon as children and teens walk through our doors, they enter an environment of stability, consistency, and physical and emotional safety. Our programs are designed to be fun and engaging, while building skills and confidence for a successful future.

What Our Club Does Best We provide cooking classes for our middle school members that teach healthy cooking and reinforce good nutrition and healthy eating habits.

We offer a high-quality volleyball program that exposes middle school youth to organized clinics and games.

In partnering with Parque Niños Unidos playground, members grow, cultivate and nourish the community garden by planting fruits and veggies that are used in cooking classes at the Clubhouse.
