Invest in the Future of Young Leaders

For the Fall 2025 season, San Francisco Achievers has concentrated on expanding programs at our partner school sites. We have organized over 40 lunch groups at Burton, Lowell, and Thurgood High Schools, resulting in an increase in program participants. SFA has provided more than 24 hours of one-on-one support. We have also launched the Leadership Academy, which currently supports 20 African American young men across SFUSD. Following a recent college tour at San Jose State, SFA is eager to continue programming into the spring semester, where we will offer secured internships for our participants.

Happy Holidays From SFA!

This year has been truly meaningful. As we head into the holiday season, we are grateful for the resilience of our young men, the dedication of our staff, and the unwavering support of our community. Together, we have continued to create spaces of opportunity, healing, and growth—and we look forward to building on this momentum in the year ahead.
