BVHP Back-to-School Celebration and
Backpack Giveaway
Since 2004, BMAGIC offers children and youth, ages 5-18, new backpacks filled with essential school supplies to celebrate the beginning of the new school year. The event also serves as a community building activity where children, youth and families come together and learn about the various services CBOs in BVHP provide as well as other city agencies and
service providers.

Literacy Is Freedom Book Fair
Since 2005, BMAGIC’s fair is designed to expose children to the power of literacy. Children from Pre-K-1st grade will engage in theatrical storytelling and literacy activities. Each child will be provided with a brand new culturally relevant and competent book and healthy snacks.
This event is only open to schools, early education centers and homeschools in the Bayview serving PreK, T-K, Kinder & 1st Grade children.
Youth Leadership Program
This year BMAGIC in collaboration with community youth organizations, will coordinate and facilitate a Youth Lead Leadership Program culminating in a showcase and public presentation for youth in our Bayview and Southeast communities. Partners include 3rd St. Youth Center & Clinic, Community Youth Center- Bayview Advocates (CYC-BYA), BAYCAT, Project Zeeni and The Bayview Opera House. Youth participate in team based learning, leadership development modules and team building from October to May. Youth seek to inform their peers on ways to navigate such serious and powerful obstacles and barriers within their community. This year’s event will be an artistic and graphic presentation with activities and prizes for all the youth attending.
