Bay Area Community Resources (BACR) promotes the healthy development of individuals, families and communities through direct services, volunteerism and partnerships in the San Francisco Bay Area.

 

Programs

 

BACR provides direct services to individuals and families needing support to overcome barriers to success. The Alcohol and DrugTobacco and Mental Health Program delivers prevention and treatment services to youth and adults having a broad spectrum of needs, ranging from the need for basic information to treatment for chronic alcoholism and drug recovery. Our environmental prevention services aim to change community norms about alcohol, drugs and tobacco use.

BACR supports young people to make positive decisions about their health, education, and employment. Youth Leadership Programs are youth-led, foster civic engagement, and promote community improvement. To ensure that services are accessible, our projects and outreach activities are delivered in a range of school- and community-based settings.

BACR After School Programs provide nurturing and enjoyable environments where students improve their academic skills. We believe in integrating the principles and practices of youth development into all after school activities. BACR believes it is our responsibility to understand and serve the needs of schools, students and parents in after school programs.

Giving back is vital to healthy development. Through BACR's National Service Program, participants achieve personal benefits by having opportunities to contribute to community improvement. Communities benefit as well through the tutoring, mentoring and health education provided by BACR's Americorps members.

BACR Healthy Communities in Richmond and San Francisco are community-based health centers centered within "hubs" of integrated, coordinated services and programs where youth and families can find support, resources, and community. In addition to the two new Healthy Start programs, examples of our hubs include high school health centers, community schools, a First 5 Center in West Contra Costa County and other early childhood programs. BACR strives to create vibrant, accessible, inclusive hubs that are safe, open, and nurturing places for participants to belong and call home.

Fiscal/Intermediary Service is an administrative service to assist other organizations with payroll, benefits administration, financial accounting and reporting.
