Together, we are building a stronger Coastside community, one kid at a time.
Our 3C's: Connection, Community, and Confidence
Connection...Every kid deserves someone who believes in them.
We help kids build lasting friendships, connect with caring adult mentors, and find a safe space where they are known, supported, and encouraged. Through after-school programs, tutoring, camps, and sports, we create daily opportunities for youth to feel seen and valued.
Community...Leading youth development organization on the Coastside.
Through strong partnerships with schools, families, other organizations, and the City of Half Moon Bay, we support academic success, skill-building, wellness, and BGCC~Cunha Athletics. Our programs serve 1000+ kids a year, regardless of their ability to pay.
"I am the leader my younger self always wanted and needed." - BGCC Teen Member
Confidence...When we build confidence, confidence changes everything.
Through academic support, robotics and STEM, workforce readiness programs, scholarships, mental health resources, and an onsite youth wellness counselor, we help youth develop resilience, leadership skills, and belief in their future. We celebrate milestones, from improved grades to diplomas, awards, and first-time outdoor experiences. When kids believe in themselves, they step into their full potential.
Kids are our community’s most valuable resource, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure they have everything they need to thrive. BGCC is focused on three powerful outcomes for over 1,200 Coastside youth.
