ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
Since 1971, Jamestown Community Center has been providing learning opportunities and safe spaces for
low-income youth in San Francisco’s Mission District. Our youth represent the low-income, racially and
ethnically diverse community in which they live and attend school. Our strategy is to serve a core group
of neighborhood youth with multiple, high-impact programs as they grow through a full range of
programs designed to help them transition from children into confident young adults.
Programs include Arts instruction, academic tutoring, sports, leadership development, employment,
counseling, and parent programs. Throughout these programs, Jamestown aims to provide all participants
with the highest-quality youth development experience. This approach builds young people’s resilience as
they face their daily challenges and supports their natural inclination to pursue their own growth into
healthy, productive young adults. Our work focuses on the innate assets of youth to develop their leadership
and ability to challenge discrimination and oppression and to bring about change in their communities.
