The Excelsior Clubhouse is owned by the City of San Francisco. Also known locally as the
Excelsior Youth Center, the Clubhouse opened in 1998 as part of an initiative to bring much needed
youth services to the Excelsior District. This Boys & Girls Club works in partnership with the
Excelsior Community School, located next door, to provide access to the Club’s gymnasium
and to encourage youth to participate in the Club’s strong after-school programs. Boys
& Girls Clubs of San Francisco functions under three-year contracts with the Department of
Children, Youth, and Their Families to operate this Clubhouse. The building is approximately
24,000 square feet and is the fourth largest Clubhouse in the BGCSF organization.

The Mission Clubhouse is currently operating out of a temporary location at Bryant Elementary
School while the original Clubhouse (circa 1928) located at 901 Alabama Street undergoes a
full-scale renovation. Located in the southeastern Mission neighborhood, the Club has served
generations of local youth, and is a deep part of the fabric and history of the community. Today, the
Club is critical in addressing the needs of young people in this largely Latino immigrant community.
Our Club members and their families are looking forward to the 2010 opening of the new
18,000-square-foot Club, which will serve 150 young people per day.

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco opened the Sunnydale Clubhouse in 1991 as part of
its effort to expand into public housing. Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco has had a
consistent presence in Sunnydale, never closing for more than one week at a time since opening
its doors. Sunnydale is the city’s largest public housing complex, but the Sunnydale
Clubhouse is among BGCSF’s smallest sites due to the limited space that the Housing
Authority has available. Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco is proud to serve this community.

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco opened the Treasure Island Clubhouse in 2000,
responding to the need for strong social services for this emerging community. At this point many,
if not most, of the youth were formerly homeless. The Club was opened in the Treasure Island
School and has remained on this school campus since. The Clubhouse opened with three staff
members and has grown to a staff of seven, plus teen staff. It is an integral part of the overall Treasure
Island community, participating actively with the Treasure Island Homeless Development Initiative
(TIHDI) and the Treasure Island Development Agency (TIDA).

In June 2008, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco officially opened the doors to its newly-
renovated, state-of-the-art Clubhouse in Hunters Point. The Club provides the only full-service
resource for 6 to 18 year olds on Hunters Point Hill -- a community that for decades had desperately
lacked services for young people. BGCSF started serving the Hunters Point community in 2005 at
the request of Mayor Gavin Newsom and City Attorney Dennis Herrera, who asked BGCSF to
transform an old Housing Authority site into a safe haven for local youth. Their partnership has been
critical in this historic project. Other key partners include the San Francisco 49ers and the San
Francisco Giants, who built a Junior Giants Field on-site and later led the effort to rename the Club
after the great Willie Mays.
