Holiday Message
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our families, donors, staff, and volunteers. This time of year highlights the power of generosity and our shared commitment to helping young people thrive. Your trust and support make everything we do possible and I am deeply appreciative and proud of the impact we create together.
As a parent myself, I know the importance of having a safe and nurturing space where kids can explore their potential, gain confidence, and build meaningful relationships with peers and other caring adults. I am proud to lead an organization that provides those same opportunities for all the youth we serve.
Our Clubs and programs are not just spaces for learning and growth; they are places where kids feel heard, valued, and understood. For many, the joy and traditions they experience with us during the holidays leave lasting impressions they carry throughout their lives.
Thank you for believing in the importance of the work that we do and for making the Club a priority in your life.
Wishing you and your loved ones a warm and joyful holiday season on behalf of everyone at Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco!
Sincerely,
Rob Connolly
President

At 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.
This 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.
From hiking under the redwoods to mastering our ropes course, from swimming in the Noyo River to mountain biking and archery lessons, every day at Camp Mendocino is packed with bold first steps and joyful moments that shape young people’s futures.
