Actualizing the Community Schools Vision in San Francisco
Empowering Kids, Families and Communities by Unleashing the Leadership of the Youth Development Workforce
It’s all about relationships.
San Francisco Beacon Initiative
is a backbone organization that empowers kids, families and communities by unleashing the leadership of the youth development workforce.
We Build Capacity for Collaboration
Our work spans one-on-one leadership development, dynamic group facilitation and trusted thought-partnership. We work with individuals to transform themselves and the systems they work in.
Empowering the Youth Development Workforce
We support youth programming and staff’s ability to grow and develop as professionals.
27 Beacon Community Schools, 13 Community-Based Organizations
Our work brings San Francisco together around public schools.
Let’s Collaborate
San Francisco Beacon Initiative supports schools, districts and organizations in the Bay Area and beyond. We offer individual and organizational coaching, convene leaders and host events that actualize the Community Schools vision.
“The expectation that collaboration can occur without supporting infrastructure is one of the most frequent reasons why it fails.”
