Bay Area Community Resources

Programs: After school programbacr after-school programs promote the successful, holistic development of youth by providing opportunities for young people to increase their academic skills, acquire new skills, engage in creative learning, share their talents and leave a positive mark in their communities. We collaborate with fellow community-based organizations and schools to provide high-quality after-school experiences for youth throughout the bay area. Our target population is low-income and academically at-risk students.

behavioral health programs:education, counseling, crisis intervention treatment and referral services are provided to adults and youth having a broad spectrum of needs, including the need for basic information to treatment for chronic alcoholism and or drug dependency. To facilitate access to services, bay area community resources (bacr) also provides services in various settings: schools, county public assistance offices, community medical clinics, jail and freestanding recovery centers. Targeted populations include: students in alternative education, drinking drivers, pregnant and parenting women in marin county, and persons involed with the criminal justice system.

national services programs:bacr manages regional americorps programs in 6 san francisco bay area counties. The bacr national service programs use an intermediary model - placing americorps and vista members with 70 partners including grass roots non-profits, school based programs, faith based organizations and municipalities. While these host organizations do not have the capacity to operate an americorps program on their own, they do have long-standing connections and commitment to their neighborhoods and therefore are well-positioned to use americorps and vista members in a way that meets community needs.
