We believe that in order to create lasting change in the educational success of students attending San Francisco public schools we need to focus on those students with the greatest need – those who come from households without a college-going tradition who attend schools that are unable to provide them the assistance and resources they need to succeed in high school, graduate from college, and excel in their careers.We estimate that there are 2,000 sixth graders in the San Francisco Unified School District each year that could become first-generation college graduates. By closing the opportunity gap in a way that aligns with District-stated goals–such as creating a college-going culture in middle school–we are SFUSD’s ideal partners. First Graduate is the only college access program that starts in middle school and stays with students through college graduation.We are on a mission to help students become the first in their families to graduate from college ready to pursue careers that are meaningful to them. And our vision is to establish a college-going tradition for every family in San Francisco.
