Making Higher Education Accessible

We partner with San Francisco schools serving first-generation students and families facing significant barriers to higher education.

Creating Pathways to Higher Education

We partner with schools across San Francisco serving under-resourced, Latinx, and first-generation students. Our comprehensive programs support youth from kindergarten through college graduation and into careers, alongside their families. Research shows that higher education is vital for breaking generational cycles of poverty, which is why we focus on preparing students for college success and fulfilling careers that strengthen future generations.

Who We Serve

Supporting over 3,800 youth and families each year across San Francisco, our programs primarily serve:

This year, 80% of our K-8 students are English Language Learners or qualify for free or reduced lunch. Most will be the first in their families to attend college. Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges and opportunities these students face on their path to higher education—and to celebrate the strengths they bring.
