MCAP
The Multi-Cultural Children's Arts Program (MCAP) mission is to engage youth and families in diverse and culturally rich art experiences. Annually, MCAP organizes 36 Saturday art workshops, which serve 500 children ages 6 to 12. The program culminates each year in a community-wide Multi-cultural Children's Art Fair held on the second Saturday in June. This fair includes displays of artwork developed through MCAP workshops, performances by professional and amateur multi-cultural children's groups, food, hands on arts and crafts, games and informational booths by neighborhood non-profit organizations.

The Richmond Village Beacon is a "one stop shop" for both youth and adult services. Based at George Washington High School and Presidio Middle School, the Beacon serves over 1,000 participants each year. Beacon services include a teen center, tutoring and leadership development as well as computer, citizenship and ESL classes and a wide array of recreational activities. The Richmond Village Beacon is part of a network of eight Beacon Centers in San Francisco that are located at public school sites. These Beacons have, as a guiding principle, that all children, youth, families and communities have strengths and assets that should be valued and developed.
