Beach Cities Gateway is a community-based extended care day program for adolescents ages 14-17 and young adults ages 18-32.

It provides young adults with life skills through coaching/mentoring for essential social, organizational, academic, & vocational skills.

Our programming is designed to be a supportive community for young adults struggling to find their roles and purposes in life. In this pursuit of self-discovery, our specialized team of mentors and clinicians provide stewardship that allows our clients to seek life experiences, understand their identity and values clearly, and find their sense of direction. In a supportive environment, clients are provided with the necessary tools and guidance to acquire life skills essential to emerge into independence and autonomy.
