Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco provides high-quality programs and support services for youth ages 6-18 with the goal of enabling Club members to leave us at 18 ready for life. We focus on four essential program areas known as our “Formula for Impact”. These four areas include Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, Good Character and Community Engagement, and Job Readiness with Earning potential. Woven through all four areas is our Citywide Creative Arts Program (CCAP). CCAP helps youth unleash their creativity, find their voice and discover their power for change. Through our connection to the vibrant San Francisco arts community, youth have access to new resources and opportunities that they might not find anywhere else, enhancing their skills, confidence, leadership, and professional network. Some of our youth go on to become practicing artists, while others pursue different career paths, bringing highly valuable critical thinking and creative problem solving skills with them.
