ABOUT OUR PARTNER

The Bayview Hunters Point YMCA

The Bayview Hunters Point (BHVP) YMCA serves youth and families through a variety of diverse programing opportunities. Disproportionately, BHVP residents face a multitude of challenging realities including health disparities, unemployment, foreclosures and neighborhood violence. Its Family Resource Center, on-site alternative high school, collaborations with the Department of Public Health, and our Teen Center are examples of how our YMCA addresses community challenges. Its Teen Center participants recently expressed an interest in becoming more active in solving community problems.
