PROGRAMMING ACROSS ALL CLUBHOUSES

Our programming focuses on the whole child. As we emerge from the pandemic we remain focused on supporting the academic success and socioemotional health and wellness of our members. We are also passionate about youth leadership, job readiness, sports, and the arts.

SUMMER LITERACY PROGRAM SPORTS, FITNESS AND PLAY!

Our comprehensive summer literacy program is led by our team of education professionals who dedicate specific time everyday to keep youth of all ages engaged in learning. Daily lessons, and activities include reading, writing, speaking, listening, and vocabulary development.

Sample Literacy Program Daily Themes:

FIELD TRIPS

We build in time during the summer for youth to explore the outdoors and local attractions with joy and freedom. These experiences facilitate and encourage new and important discoveries.

In line with Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco’s commitment to healthy lifestyles, members engage in structured and unstructured play time. Staff are trained to facilitate games, activities, and sports so kids have fun and build a strong appreciation for physical activity.

CREATIVITY & EXPLORATION!

Programming blends daily enrichment across many content areas. Popular activities include STEAM, arts, and crafts, cooking, community service opportunities, and wellness activities.

CLUBHOUSE-SPECIFIC SPECIALTIES

Each of our Clubhouses have some programmatic areas that are unique to their location. For more information on specific Clubhouse program highlights visit www.kidsclub.org/Clubs Club-specific highlights include:

PERFORMING ARTS

Classes in acting, musical theater, dance, and performance for youth of all ages.

Through drawing, painting, photography, and more, youth learn to use visual art as a lens into their own lives and a tool to affect positive change.

Our comprehensive swim program offers affordable, high-quality, and safe water smart classes, recreational swim, learnto-swim classes, and competitive swim.

At several locations, members stay busy in our onsite gardens. Youth take turns watering, spreading compost, and maintaining various plants and flowers. They also harvest their own fruit and vegetables!

PARTNERSHIPS AND COMMUNITY COLLABORATION

Community partners are a big part of our Club offerings! Partnerships differ from Club to Club. Sample partnerships include:

Club members have access to highquality music studios where they can work with professional music instructors to learn a new instrument and write and record music.

Every summer, Major League Baseball brings the Junior Giants program to Club members giving them the chance to experience the joys of baseball, be active outdoors, build new friendships, and learn good sportsmanship.

Youth participate in surf lessons! In addition to building that specific skill, this also gives them the opportunity to practice mindfulness, empowerment, and exposure to the ocean.
