Learn moreAt the Club I really enjoy playing sports with the kids like Basketball and Tennis. I think the most meaningful part of my Club experience is the community. Not only is it a fun place to go after school but it is also a group of adults and kids who I know care about me.”

My favorite part of my Club experience is how intertwined the whole Clubhouse is. It feels really heartwarming when a lot of the younger kids can talk to the older kids and have that smaller sibling relationship with them.”

I like to do the Teen Advocacy Group or TAG, because we are able to advocate for different social problems and issues inside our community.”

The Club environment helps me with my academics because they offer support. There is tutoring, there is staff there that are just very inviting, very warm, they are people I would never forget."

Engaging with my community allowed me to understand how invaluable forming connections is. Just because I am a first-generation kid doesn’t mean I will go through everything alone, which is what the Club made apparent to me. The Club is the place that brought my family a sense of belonging in SF. Through it, we discovered the close-knit community fostered in the Tenderloin and the resources it provides.”

Some of my favorite activities at the Club are Keystone and Money Matters. Something about Money Matters I really enjoy is being able to learn financially literacy. I think it's pretty important especially because I am going to college soon.”
