In a time marked by division, growing uncertainty, and financial instability, the families we serve are carrying a lot—and so are young people. From global conflict, political tensions, natural disasters, government funding cuts, and immigration enforcement, the emotional weight of the moment is real for families and communities. Kids are absorbing it, often without the tools to understand or express what they’re feeling. That’s why spaces like Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF) are more important than ever.
Learn MoreAt Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF), we believe all children and teens deserve access to opportunity. Throughout the year, we work intentionally to connect youth to experiences that might otherwise be out of reach. Summer, in particular, allows our Clubs to be open all day, giving us more time to offer enriching programs, field trips, and new experiences that spark curiosity and growth. These opportunities expand perceptions of what’s possible, boost confidence, and help kids dream bigger.
Learn MoreThis week marks the official start of summer—and here at Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco’s Excelsior Clubhouse, we can already feel the energy building. At Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF), summer is a verb. It’s about movement, momentum, and joyful, purposeful action. As a Clubhouse Director, I have the privilege of witnessing our members' summer firsthand.

This year, McKinsey employees generously volunteered at our Tenderloin Clubhouse every first Friday. Their dedication to supporting academic programs, sports, fitness, and play activities, and art programming has left a lasting impact on our community. Through their commitment, enthusiasm, and consistency, they have not only created memorable experiences but also fostered a positive environment for everyone involved.
Old Navy continues to be an invaluable partner to BGCSF. This year, their employees not only volunteered at our Don Fisher, Excelsior, and Tenderloin Clubhouses but also went above and beyond by organizing a back-to-school drive. In addition, they assembled tote bags filled with toiletries and supplies for our youth at Camp Mendocino. Their generosity and commitment have had an impact on our community, further strengthening the bond.
