Located at John Muir Elementary School and recently

  Raoul Wallenberg Traditional High School, the Western

  Addition Beacon Center (WA Beacon), a program of the

  Buchanan YMCA, provides quality after-school programming  

  for youth and also serves as a community center addressing 

  the specific needs of the Western Addition community.

  Our Mission is to enrich the lives of community members

  and to ensure the healthy development of young people.

  We offer a wide array of lunch time and after-school

  programming, including academic support, college

  preparation, computer and media technology, cultural

  arts and events, recreational activities that foster mental

  and physical health, and referral based case management.

  We also recognize the importance of family and adult

  services and work to serve the entire community.

  The Western Addition Beacon Center thrives to inspire

  youth and uplift the community through our ability and

  willingness to address the most critical community needs.
