BMAGIC LGBTQQ Working Group Meeting

Several important BMAGIC partners will be meeting with staff to start the process of building out curriculum and trainings for organizations that serve the LGBTQQ youth population in Bayview Hunters Point. The creation of this working group was a direct response of data found in the BMAGIC Landscape Data Report!

Summer Learning Collaborative Meeting

On Tuesday, March 23rd, BMAGIC called together many prominent organizations within the collaborative to report back on organizational summer programing and co-create a universal calendar based on this information. BMAGIC plans to support these groups to better utilize the calendar and bring participants to different organizations based on the needs of their youth and gaps in personal services. Groups like the SECRN, BAYCAT, the Willie Mays Boys and Girls Club, Third Street Youth Center and Clinic, the BVHP YMCA, and the Bayview Opera House (among many others) came to report back on their offerings and participate in a conversation around sharing resources and providing more comprehensive programs and curriculum for their youth through the participation in this work.
