Bay Area Women's and Children's Center

Bay Area Women’s and Children’s Center (BAWCC) is a multi-faceted resource center in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood with a dual purpose:

1. To assist families, children, and women in addressing their immediate needs with direct services
2. To lead local and citywide educational work, advocacy, and planning on issues critical to low-income children and families

BAWCC also works on related neighborhood development and long-term community projects identified by low-income families, youth, and women. They have previously been involved with the creation of the Tenderloin Community Elementary School and on-site Family Center, the Tenderloin Recreation Center, and five playgrounds in the Tenderloin and SF Civic Center.
