San Francisco Achievers
Mission
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.
Vision
We envision a future where every young Black man in San Francisco is equipped, empowered, and inspired to thrive in college, career, and life—leading with confidence, breaking barriers, and transforming their communities for generations to come.
Goals
- 1.SFA aims to expand access so more young Black men in San Francisco can overcome systemic barriers and reach their full potential. By growing our programs, we provide earlier, consistent support in education, career, and leadership—ensuring success is not the exception but the expectation.
- 2.Due to historic inequities, young Black men in SF often lack access to career exposure and professional networks. Implementing internship support is critical to closing this opportunity gap—providing hands-on experience, mentorship, and pathways to success that are too often out of reach.
- 3.Investing in SFA’s capacity ensures we can meet growing demand, deepen impact, and sustain high-quality support for young Black men. Strengthening our infrastructure, staff, and systems allows us to expand access, build lasting partnerships, and create meaningful, long-term change in San Francisco.
