Chinese New Year Celebration
2020 was our second year of hosting a Lunar New Year dinner in partnership with Chinatown YMCA. We had a great time eating together, playing games, and winning prizes!
Afterschool with Y Bike
Through our partnerships, such as YBike, students can learn new things and build new skills- like biking off a ramp!
Family Hike
In April 2019 we had our first Family Hike! We learned how to identify poison oak, picked up a bag full of trash from the beach, explored the labyrinth, and even saw some dolphins! Thanks to Tiffany from Presidio YMCA Earth Service Corps for partnering with us on this! Looking forward to the next one!
Strategic Partnerships
The Marina Beacon Center relies on strategic and coordinated partnerships in order to provide a wider range of supports for students. Our current partners include Street Soccer USA, San Francisco Unified School District’s (SFUSD) Youth Health Outreach Program, YBike, Earth Service Corps, Presidio YMCA Aquatics, and YRangers.
