SNBC's After School Learning Program at Robert Louis Stevenson began in March of 2007, and the 2007-08 school year is its first full year of operation. More than 90 students in grades 2nd through 5th attend the program every day, Monday through Friday, from 2:40 to 5:40. The Robert Louis Stevenson After School Program is excited to offer a fun, safe and educational after school opportunity for students in the Robert Louis Stevenson Elementary community!

 

S.C.R.E.A.M., or Sunset Creators Reaching Every Able Mind, was created to offer an opportunity for high school students to learn and work with media production and receive stipends for completed projects.

Whether the films are for personal interest, entertainment, or for educational purposes, each member puts in many hours of dedication and hard work into S.C.R.E.A.M. Students don't have to have prior filmmaking experience before joining S.C.R.E.A.M.- they simply have to want to give it a shot!

The Urban Music Program is a club, family and musical utopia dedicated to teaching and spreading our passion for music. This usually happens when we are DJ’ing, making beats, freestyling, playing loud instruments, doing field recordings, writing, recording, producing songs and performing unusual sonic experiments. Like any good family, we constantly inspire, support and challenge each other to grow.

The Urban Music Program was started by Jon Bernson in 1997 with 8 youth, a PMX 1600 Gemini mixer and two Technic 12000’s. Over the last 10 years, we’ve added new gear, many new branches and collaborated with many musical souls: old and young, gifted and green, famous and almost famous. We’ve crossed paths with hundreds of talented youth who’ve learned and taught us much in our quest for musical truth.

We are a hive of teenagers, congregating at the Sunset Neighborhood Beacon Center in San Francisco with one mission: to Find Truth in Youth.

BAMboozled.org is our vehicle: a web site that publishes our honest lives and illustrates our goal in showing an alternative and more authentic view of teen life. We created BAM to battle the stereotypes set by television and movies on teenage life. What started as a literary web site expanded into a computerized home, laying haven to our artistic impulses and wild opinions. We were artists needing a gallery, musicians needing a record label, filmmakers needing a festival, and writers needing a publisher. All this is what BAMboozled.org now provides. BAM provides a setting where we discover and develop talents for leadership, communication, and implementation. Persistence and compromise makes this work and when success arrives, the pure satisfaction is overwhelming. We are now reaching our individual goals through BAM while pushing forward our team project. BAMboozled.org is more than an afternoon pastime. It is our mission for changing the world.

A collaboration between the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and the Sunset Neighborhood Beacon Center (SNBC), the After School Learning Center (ASLC) is a free program, Monday through Friday, from 3:30 to 6:00pm for A.P. Giannini Middle School students. The program consists of a snack, art, recreational or cultural activities and experiential learning and homework assistance.

Program Description

The Ulloa After School Program has been in existence for 5 years. The program will serve 180 kids this year.

The diverse staff at Ulloa After School Learning Center come from a variety of backgrounds in order to bring the students an array of classes and activities. The classes we offer range from Literacy and Math to Dance, Ceramics, Art, Cooking & Nutrition, Girls Sports, Soccer, Drama, Science, and Computers. The classes are instructed by certificated teachers and youth workers in their field of expertise.

The Afterschool Learning Program (ASLP) at Sunset Elementary School began in January 2003. The ASLP is currently serving over 100 students a year, from grades 2 to 5. Priority is given to students who need extra support in literacy and a number of places are reserved for English Language Learners.

Students attend the program every day from 2:40 to 5:40pm. The ASLP provides academic support and an enrichment program based on the principles of youth development.

We have seven hard-working Program Instructors who provide both the academic and enrichment opportunities. A Lead Teacher from Sunset Elementary School works with the ASLP to align with the California Academic Standards.

A typical afternoon at the ASLP:

2:40pm: Snack Time

3:00pm: Homework Support with lead Program Instructor

Francis Scott Key provides an academic and enrichment afterschool program that focuses on expanding academic achievement and promoting youth development. Students attend the program daily from 1:50 - 5:50 pm and participate in academic classes focusing on Literacy and Math, a homework/tutorial program, and a variety of enrichment activities.

"Before I was in [the Francis Scott Key After School Learning Program] I just went home after school and did my homework. Then I watched T.V. and spent the rest of my afternoon bored. After I got into the program in the fourth grade, I got lots of help on my homework and had a lot of fun."

- Lucy Nguyen, FSK afterschool program alumna

The After School Learning Program provides students who are in need of academic assistance, a safe place to explore academics and experience enrichment outside of the regular school day.
