PRESS RELEASE. From the San Mateo County Sheriff Office on August 4th, 2025.
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. – Community members, families and youth gathered Saturday as the ribbon was cut and the doors officially opened on the new Coastside Sheriff’s Activities League (SAL) Building in Half Moon Bay.
The project was inspired by Sheriff Christina Corpus’ vision to establish a safe, welcoming and centralized space where Coastside youth can access mentorship programs, academic support and community activities in close proximity to local schools.
Located at 235 Main St., the Coastside SAL building will serve as a hub for youth and teens to gather and connect with trusted mentors and Sheriff’s deputies, providing opportunities for growth and strengthening bonds.
“This building stands as a promise: a promise that we are investing in the future of our kids. The Sheriff’s
Activities League is far more than a crime-prevention program. It’s a place where young people find their voice, build confidence, and develop real, lasting connections with each other, with deputies, and with the community around them,” said Sheriff Corpus. “To our local youth community: this building is yours.”
Designed with growth and connection in mind, the building features several dynamic spaces, including a dedicated computer room where youth will have access to laptops and a quiet space to complete homework and projects after school.
The Coastside SAL Building also supports fun and wellness, including an exercise room, a TV room and activities and games throughout.
SAL’s weekly Thursday night programming is set to take place at the building, and plans are underway to host movie nights and special events at the facility.
