SBCS (formerly South Bay Community Services) transforms communities to support the well‑being and prosperity of children, youth, and families. For more than 50 years, we’ve worked throughout San Diego to provide safe shelter, transitional housing, intervention prevention programs, mental health support, and many other services that meet the ever‑changing needs of our communities.

Our organization is dedicated to offering high‑quality services and ensuring all services align with the community's needs. To best serve our communities, SBCS partners with various grassroots organizations throughout California to develop innovative strategies that enhance services, empower clients, and ensure that culturally appropriate and trauma‑informed care is offered. SBCS provides a wide range of services tailored to meet each client's unique needs.

At SBCS, our client‑centered approach highlights the importance of respect, empathy, and compassion when interacting with all community members.

As a mission‑driven organization, our work is centered around providing exceptional, face‑to‑face support to our clients and community members to foster trust, accessibility and personal connection that are critical to our mission.

You are an advocate and champion of nurturing communities where families can pursue their dreams and fulfill their potential.

You want to become a part of an energetic and effective team, and contribute your expertise, creativity, and insights to a unique role encompassing program management, development, and direct counseling services for at‑risk children, adolescents, and families.

SBCS is home to a committed team of 470 dedicated employees and volunteers who diligently serve all of San Diego County. Having offered services for 52 years, SBCS is committed to providing hope and support for numerous young children, individuals, and families facing adversity. With an annual budget of $68 million, SBCS continues to be a beacon of assistance in the community.

SBCS offers competitive pay and additional benefits for full‑time employees, including generous vacation time, holidays, health, vision, dental, flexible spending accounts, an employee assistance program, discount programs, public service forgiveness loan, and an excellent retirement plan with matching contributions.

SBCS’s Casa Nuestra is the emergency housing component of a continuum of existing prevention and intervention services. Casa Nuestra will be available to youth who have either been arrested and/or referred to San Diego County’s Alternatives to Detention (ATD) or the Community Assessment Team or Juvenile Diversion (CAT/JD), as well as homeless youth referred by community entities (e.g., churches, schools) or youth on Probation (Ward).

SBCS’ Achievement Center (AC) provides a spectrum of services to help youth on probation remain in compliance with court orders, avoid reoffending, and to reach their full potential. The program also provides youth with opportunities for pro‑social activities, games and free time, educational groups, restorative circles, music engineering & production, and career & job readiness & education. The AC also serves non‑probation youth residing in the central region communities of San Diego.

Program participants are provided with transportation to and from the center each day. Dinner is also provided daily. A full‑time therapist is available to provide individual, group and family therapy, as needed.
