Urban Services YMCA currently conducts community outreach through a number of ways. Parent Advisory Councils at our Community Beacon Centers meet monthly to discuss pressing school issues and develop solution-based plans for school improvement. Additionally, Community Councils at our Family Resource Centers and our Community Beacon Centers each meet monthly to focus on arising issues in the community and to offer workable solutions. Finally, Youth Leadership Councils are in place at our Community Beacon Centers and our Safe Haven that examine how to deliver high quality youth programs and how to deal with the issues and challenges youth face on a daily basis.

Urban Services YMCA staff takes a broader leadership role when it comes to issues relating to youth and families. Our organization participates in local community forums and organizations including Coleman Advocates, San Francisco Recreation and Parks, and YO! SF to name a few. Below are a few examples of programs that help us engage with the communities we serve.
