Experience the future of San Francisco as a volunteer tutor or mentor with the Boys & Girls Clubs!
The Harvard Club of San Francisco welcomes the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco as its latest community service partner. We are especially honored to be working with the historic Columbia Park Clubhouse. The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF) believes that young people will realize their full potential when they have the access to opportunities, and where they are surrounded by an environment of respect, innovation, education and fun. Its programs and dedicated staff engage youth in positive activities with peer supports that promote self-esteem. Our partnership with BGCSF represents a unique opportunity to perform challenging but extremely rewarding work in San Francisco's most dynamic, diverse, and important community. You will work alongside an excellent staff of truly committed adults and positive, motivated, responsible teens, including some Columbia Park alumni. While the Columbia Park Clubhouse could use volunteers in all areas (education and career development, sports, fitness, recreation, the arts, etc.), the staff have made a special request for help in the evening tutoring program. Tutors are most urgently needed on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-6:30and from 6:00-7:00. The Columbia Park Clubhouse is conveniently located in the Mission at 450 Guerrero Street, San Francisco and can be easily reached via public transportation. For further information on getting involved, we encourage all interested members of the Harvard community to contact: Tim Simpson, Community Outreach Manager, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco, (415) 445-5482, tsimpson@kidsclub.org.
