What We Do Every day at the Club, we provide highquality programs and support services that allow youth to leave us at age 18 “ready for life”. As soon as children and teens walk through our doors, they enter an environment of stability, consistency, and physical and emotional safety. Our programs are designed to be fun and engaging, while building skills and confidence for a successful future.

What Our Club Does Best We have a state-of-the-art recording studio run by Notes4Notes, a national partner nonprofit, where members can explore their creativity through music.

We provide youth with a strong continuum of educational programming and facilitate smooth transitions from elementary school to middle school and middle school to high school.

We offer strong STEM programming across multiple departments. We make sure that there is a diverse offering that focuses on technology and engineering.

Programs Academics Members come to us with a range of academic skills, interests, and learning styles, so we offer various programs and strategies to support them.

Programs include homework help, tutoring, STEM enrichment, literacy, academic mentoring, college prep, and support during key grade transitions.

Health & Life Skills Our goal is to be the healthiest place for kids by instilling lifelong healthy habits. We do this through physical activity, nutrition programs, healthy decision making, and healthy relationships programs.

Teens Our goal is to help youth succeed and be "ready for life" by the time they leave us at age 18.

Programs offerings include academic support, college prep, career exploration, volunteer and leadership opportunities, financial literacy, health & life skills, and job readiness.

Citywide Creative Arts We provide a path for youth to access highquality art instruction in an environment where they can express themselves.

All Club members have the opportunity to attend Camp Mendocino, our 2,000-acre residential summer camp located 3.5 hours north of San Francisco in a beautiful redwood forest. Camp Mendocino provides a creative, fun, and supportive camping experience for youth ages eight to 14, as well as a Leaders-In-Training program for youth ages 15-17.
