BACR’s mission is to promote the healthy development of individuals and families, encourage service and volunteerism, and help build community. We carry out our mission by (1) providing direct school- and community-based services, (2) connecting volunteers with opportunities to best serve their communities, and (3) building and strengthening all of the communities we serve so that community members and institutions can effect change. BACR and our staff are guided by a set of core values and beliefs that informs our approach to services, personnel recruitment, and professional development. 

​

Our annual program evaluations have consistently shown positive impacts, including improved youth development skills, school performance, and family functioning.

​

We have deep respect for the communities we serve throughout the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, the dedicated staff who show up for those in need, and the opportunity we have been given through this work to promote resilience in tens of thousands of individuals every year.
 

OUR SCOPE

BACR provides a variety of services that depend on strong relationships between providers and clients. The service areas BACR focuses its efforts on include afterschool and expanded learning, behavioral and mental health, fiscal sponsorship, healthy communities and schools, national service, and youth workforce and reentry. BACR continually searches for opportunities to increase diversity in programs, communities, and funding sources by submitting high-quality proposals, being “fast followers,”and building and leading alliances. BACR provides services predominantly in the San Francisco Bay Area with several of our programs providing services in other California communities.
