Invest in the Future of Young Leaders

As the spring semester gets underway, San Francisco Achievers is proud to be actively serving 80 Achievers across Wallenberg, Marshall, Lowell, and Burton High Schools. With 72 current scholars engaged in programming, mentorship, and college and career readiness activities, our young men continue to demonstrate dedication to their academic and personal growth.


As the school year progresses, we are also excited to prepare for the next chapter of our program by selecting and welcoming 25 new scholars at the end of the academic year. This expansion reflects SFA’s continued commitment to increasing access to mentorship, leadership development, and post-secondary opportunities for African American young men across San Francisco.


Through workshops, college exposure, workforce development experiences, and community-building events, San Francisco Achievers remains focused on equipping our scholars with the tools, confidence, and network needed to thrive in college, career, and beyond.

SFA Pharaoh's Court 2026

San Francisco Achievers proudly hosted its 3rd Annual Pharaoh’s Court Wellness Conference, bringing together 45 young men from Burton, Lowell, and Marshall High Schools for a powerful day of growth, reflection, and connection.

Throughout the day, scholars participated in engaging workshops focused on physical, mental, and economic wellness, while connecting with community partners through interactive resource tables. The conference created space for the young men to explore the importance of self-care, financial awareness, and personal development in a supportive and empowering environment.


We extend a special thank you to our sponsor, UCSF, as well as our incredible guest speakers and dedicated volunteers who helped make this day such a meaningful experience for our scholars. Their time, insight, and commitment to uplifting the next generation made the conference both impactful and inspiring.


Pharaoh’s Court is designed to provide our scholars with a day dedicated to empowerment, brotherhood, and holistic well-being—equipping them with the knowledge, resources, and confidence needed to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
