This Program Excellence Award recognizes our organization’s outstanding commitment to program quality throughout our Club sites, ensuring that all young people have access to a high-quality Club experience.

Program Excellence Award
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION: HEALING ARTS PROGRAM
This Program Excellence Award recognizes Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion. The Club’s Healing Arts program was developed to increase access and support for grief and bereavement through culturally responsive activities at Club celebrations.
We know that ensuring program quality is a journey not a destination. It will take an ongoing effort and tremendous commitment at every level of the organization to ensure that our programs are always high quality. Our Club members deserve nothing less!
Summer is a meaningful time for youth to relax, explore new interests, and simply be kids. At Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco, our summer programs complement the school year by offering full-day experiences that support learning beyond the classroom. Through hands-on activities, enrichment programs, and opportunities to build friendships, youth engage in fun, low-stress environments designed to support growth, confidence, and connection.
A holiday message from BGCSF President, Rob Connolly.
