El Centro Bayview is a partnership of three agencies from the Mission District providing family services to the Bayview Latino population: Mission Neighborhood Centers, Good Samaritan Family Resource Center, and Mission Economic Development Agency.

The program’s mission is to develop prevention, early intervention, and intensive services that support families living in the Bayview. Services include case management, support groups, playgroups, family events, community events and one time parent workshops.

Our partnership commits to providing culturally competent services to Bayview families with an emphasis on maintaining families integrity, health, and safety..
