All of us at Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF) are so excited to open the doors to our new Clubhouse in Sunnydale as our members return to the classroom this school-year!
Excitement is building among Club members and staff as hundreds of young people will have a state-of-the-art space to actively and passionately pursue and realize their dreams.
BGCSF is proud to have been a critical partner in the collaboration with Mercy Housing, Related Builders, Wu Yee Children’s Services, and the City of San Francisco. The result is a Hub that seamlessly integrates youth and family services with newly constructed affordable housing, which together builds an ecosystem of supportive services that will help the community and its residents thrive.
We have made incredible progress on the new Clubhouse over the past 18 months, to check out the full photo journey, check out our Flickr Album.
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.
