Community Engagement and Collaboration

To strengthen the neighborhoods of northeast San Francisco, Tel-Hi works closely with local residents, organizations, and businesses and collaborates in the following ways:

  • Serves as the host site for North Beach Community Court

  • Offers our meeting place for neighborhood associations and other community groups

  • Hosts holiday celebrations that bring the community together

  • Partners with neighborhood groups on issues important to our community

Community Partnerships

Tel-Hi is a member of San Francisco Neighborhood Centers Together, a collaboration of neighborhood centers throughout our city. 

We share our space with other groups when possible.  From 6:00 - 6:30 a.m. Monday through Friday we lend our space to North Mountain Zendo for group meditation. For over 50 years the Telegraph Hill Cooperative Nursery School has rented space at Tel-Hi, where it offers a parent-run preschool.

In the evenings the following community organizations use our space free of charge to strengthen our neighborhood:

  • District 3 Democratic Club
  • Friends of Joe DiMaggio Playground
  • Friends of Washington Square Park
  • North Beach Neighbors
  • Telegraph Hill Dwellers
