CYC Bayview Branch Office has two main service areas. One is the Bayview Youth Advocates program, which brings together a multi-cultural group of high school youth (living or attending school in District 10) to lead their community and San Francisco towards peace and positive change. Youth Advocates will gain leadership, campaign building, public speaking, action and event planning, resource-seeking, and cultural competency skills. Additionally, we outreach to mono-lingual Chinese and
Spanish speaking youth and families in the Bayview Hunter’s Point community to offer assistance in public services, such as public safety awareness, emergency preparedness, and referrals. We also organize cultural exchange events to foster racial harmony and build a stronger Bayview community.

The Jumpstart program supports our mission to work toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed. This involves improving academic gains for young children, involving families, and fostering a pipeline of early educators and champions of early childhood education. We pursue this vision by providing our enriched curriculum in preschool aged classrooms, by participating in community events to promote early literacy activities in and outside of the home, by cultivating a high-quality early childhood workforce and by inspiring public support and investment in high-quality early learning experiences.
