BGCSF Supports Vaccinate All 58
BGCSF enthusiastically supports Vaccinate ALL 58 and strongly encourages COVID-19 vaccinations for everyone who is eligible and who is able! We are pleased to share the ways in which our community has come together in support of COVID-19 vaccinations since June, 2021.
This past March, our most recent pop-up COVID vaccination clinic with UCSF at our Excelsior Clubhouse had a great turnout! Youth came through to get their vaccine and we thank them for helping make our community safer!
In February, BGCSF collaborated with UCSF on a vaccination clinic at our Don Fisher Clubhouse! At BGCSF, we work to support kids and families every day. We know how disruptive this pandemic has been for our community. Our organization enthusiastically encourages COVID-19 vaccinations for everyone who is eligible and who is able, seeing it as one of the most important ways that we can get beyond this pandemic.
Prior to the clinic, our teen community shared their perspective. Here is what three of our members had to say about why they chose to get vaccinated:
Johnathon, the 2022 Visitacion Valley Clubhouse Youth of the Year:
Paulina, the 2022 Tenderloin Clubhouse Youth of the Year:
Kelly, the 2022 Excelsior Clubhouse Youth of the Year:
Before our teens teens spoke out, many of our staff members shared their support. This included Clubhouse Directors across the City:
In the middle of the summer, there was a Delta variant surge in San Francisco. Our Chief Operating Officer, Maxine Wilson, told her vaccination story and encouraged everyone to join her.
Our organization's support of VaccinateAll58 started in June when President, Rob Connolly, and Vice President of Club Services, Harold Love, endorsed the campaign. They shared why they got vaccinated and why they believe vaccinations are so important to the health of our communities.
Throughout this time, we have consistently shared our perspective on the importance of vaccinations and encouraged our community to stay informed by visiting www.vaccinateall58.com!

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.
