Real Options for City Kids (ROCK) is dedicated to nurturing the healthy development of children by listening attentively to their needs and by providing opportunities to those who might not otherwise have access.

Description:
ROCK aims to promote the positive development and long-term success of the youth that it serves through a combination of in-school and after school learning enrichment, sports and fitness, leadership training, outdoor adventure and summer camp opportunities. ROCK's programs are designed to serve girls and boys, ages 6-17, who live in or attend school in San Francisco's Visitacion Valley.

History:
ROCK was founded in September 1994 in response to the needs within San Francisco for enhanced public education programs and positive after school activities. Inspired by these needs, ROCK's founding volunteers researched the problem and developed the idea of combining school based and after school learning enrichment programs with sports and fitness activities to promote healthy child development. Hence, ROCK was born.
