The mission of San Francisco Achievers is to inspire and empower African-American young men in the San Francisco Unified School District to succeed in college and postsecondary institutions. We accomplish our mission through our Culture of Continuation (Positive Youth Development approach) which provides targeted support to both secondary- and postsecondary school students, and is intended to bolsters our participants resiliency and ensure their retention, matriculation, and graduation. Our asset-enriching programming includes academic monitoring and counseling at both the high school and college level, postsecondary scholarships, mentoring and network building, and aims to assure participants build a culture that fosters continuation.
