With a legacy of over 125 years, MNC has deep roots in the San Francisco community, beginning with the establishment of the first settlement house for girls in Northern California by activists and sisters Rachel (Rae) and Eva Wolfsohn in 1897. Their vision focused on alleviating poverty in urban areas through cultural programs and education, and the settlement house quickly became an anchor for generations of immigrants and working-class families. Over the years, the Girls Club of San Francisco evolved into a safe and inspiring gathering place, offering practical skills classes, cultural activities, and opportunities for girls to form friendships and support networks. In 1942, this vital program was integrated into the larger Mission Community Center, which expanded its reach to serve boys and families. In 1959, Mission Community Center merged with the Precita Valley Community Center and Mission Family Center, forming what we know today as MNC. Now, we proudly serve more than 45,000 low-income seniors, youth, and families with young children across 21 sites throughout San Francisco.
