Jamestown Beacon Jamestown Community Center at BVHM is proud to join the San Francisco Beacon Initiative. Beacon Centers focus on bridging the gap between students, parents and their communities by bringing additional enrichment programs directly to school sites. Beacon Centers provide support services that go beyond the traditional school environment. Students and families will now have access to expanded learning opportunities and services. Beacon Centers transform public schools into places where children, youth, parents and community members engage in positive, educational, enriching and healthy activities during school hours and beyond. These activities not only supplement the school day but nurture the skills necessary for students to succeed both personally and academically. The goal is to close the gap between school and community needs through strong partnerships, ensuring more resources are available and services are better coordinated to achieve positive outcomes for our youth, families, and communities.
