Overview
Jamestown Community Center is a youth development organization that provides programs for youth, parents, and families in and around San Francisco’s Mission District. The organization’s artistic programs are rooted in the culture, music, theater, and dance of Afro-Latino traditions. Each year, more than 400 youth are served through more than 290 classes and workshops, and youth perform for tens of thousands of people in large-scale Mission District arts events, such as Carnaval and the Day of the Dead procession. This grant to Jamestown Community Center will support arts learning pods — in-person, intensive arts instruction to elementary-age students during COVID-19 school closures — and advances the Performing Arts Program’s Youth strategy.

Jamestown Community Center provides youth with development services rooted in the cultural and artistic traditions of their communities.

Jamestown Community Center's Loco Bloco Drum and Dance Ensemble program has served low-income children and youth of color in and around San Francisco's historic Mission District for over 20 years. With pedagogy based in the creation and performance of music, theater, and dance rooted in Afro-Latino traditions, the organization annually engages more than 700 youth in arts education programs at neighborhood schools and community centers. Youth performances at San Francisco's annual Carnaval parade and staged performances reach hundreds of thousands of audience members each year.
