Booker T. Washington Community Service Center

There is great love for the community and serves people of all ages

Excellent after school program. In addition to homework time, the program has dance, theater, piano, soccer, tennis, field trips, cooking, crafts and more. Every day, snack and hot supper is served. My daughter loves tennis in the new gym and reading at her desk spot which had a spectacular view of the city. The staff is caring and friendly not only to the kids, but to parents too!

This is one of the best community centers in San Francisco with a great new gym, cooking programs for the youth and a staff that you can only wish for. The staff are great with the children, the facility is clean and well manged.

Warm and friendly place. I attended a class in Senior Wellness. Excellent! Also, fun activities: field trips and BINGO! Love this place!

Excellent programs for seniors. Great loving and caring staff, good food, fresh as well as prepared. KUDOS to BTW Community Center.🥰

Went to the Kwanzaa Celebration at the Community Center. I had a great time with family and friends the staff and performances were awesome! Beautiful new Building! Great place! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Part of Drew High School this community gym is very nice. Not a lot of spectator space but the facility itself is excellent.

This place is always clean and shiny. The staff is always super friendly and well informed it seems to be a great place to be.

The best place to live, work and gather. The best community center that offers so many activities for everyone. Keep doing great work Booker T.

The best food pantry I've volunteered at! The staff is welcoming and thankful, the facility is clean, and the produce is good. A cool surprise: Volunteers got food boxes for home.

My son's aftercare and it runs as late as 6:00pm!. He loves it. This is best place for kids of all ages. I couldn't ask for more. The enrichment classes along with the eye on homework, work habits and listening is excellent.

This program appeared to be a good welcoming place for my child for a after school program. But as a Black Dad it was not so welcoming to me. I was barred from this after school program. After picking my child up about 3 times. Saying I cant come there for pick up at 6p. They could not even tell me. They told the child's Mom! How rude! This happened 1 month after they asked me for Family Court Documentation, which stated my time share starts there at during pick up at 6p. I glady emailed documentation to the Director. They gave no clear reason why I could not come. So through emails I went to find out why I was being barred.I needed answers.Fast forward to now 7/8/22. I have been in emails about this issue with a woman by the name of Shakirah Smiley who is the executive director who has been trying really hard to make me believe she is not just singling me and my child out. By saying "it was something that was worked out between the program and my childs mom"...Not only was I hurt by this Inequality I was also saddened. Also, This program is not right because it do not allow parents to just pop in and check on their kids during program hours. A program should not be ran as a detention center.Parents should be allowed to check on their kids at anytime in any after school program.Especially during the childs transitions. Lastly, this program seems to be about their pocket books and less about Gender Egalitarianism. They can care less about the children and their parents.

It is a great after school program for kids the kids never want to leave when the parents pick them up they have lots of fun
