Funds raised at the event will support Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco's academic programs and college prep services.

Kids Night Out

Our members and volunteers had an incredible time at this year's Kids Night Out! The theme, “Explore Our World,” inspired youth and their Big Buddys to be curious and learn about different cultures, nature, and crafts from around the globe.

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco is a community that thrives because we value diversity, inclusion, kindness, and respect. Racism has no place in our community - or any community. Not just today but every day, we stand together with our Black families, members, colleagues, supporters, and the entire Black community. We all have a responsibility as role models to speak out against systemic racism, promote understanding, and create a world that is smarter, stronger, and kinder.

We encourage you to take action at kidsclub.org/helpnow and to share these resources with others.

Support Brighter Futures for San Francisco Youth

Each of our special events is vital to making Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco available to all youth. Your support, through participation or a donation, allows us to continue to help young people on their path to success.
