Achievers and the Pandemic

June 9, 2020 by Amber Childress Leave a Comment

At San Francisco Achievers, we have been doing our part to keep staff, volunteers and our students safe. All staff are working from home and all in-person programs have been suspended until further notice. Utilizing virtual tools, we are continuing to empower our high school and college students by providing information regarding food distribution, access to masks, access to technology resources, academic support and most importantly encouragement. During these times we are extremely dependent and grateful for the support of our donors and volunteers.

Our staff have been in regular communication with students, their families and our strategic partners like DCYF and SFUSD. We are sharing information on useful resources, including the list of school sites that are providing free to go meals for youth 18 years and under. We are doing our best to stay on top of the updates and information that is coming in daily from local and statewide officials.  We are under guidance in the Bay Area along with five other Bay Area counties,  including Alameda and Contra Costa regarding the “shelter in place” order as it progresses through the phases to re-open physical spaces. For local updates please check your local news outlets and for Covid-19 updates from the CA Department of Public Health, please click here

With gratitude,
San Francisco Achievers Staff and Board

Black Lives Matter!

June 9, 2020 by Amber Childress 1 Comment

Dear San Francisco Achievers supporters,

In this time of immense tragedy, San Francisco Achievers has long been a place for empowering African American young men in San Francisco and for supporting them through a wide variety of challenges including racism. This is ingrained in our very DNA as part of our mission to inspire and assist African American young men in San Francisco to lead and thrive in higher education and beyond. We accomplish this through mentoring, leadership training and college scholarships.

As individuals, as a team and as an organization, we will not stand for bullying, bigotry, or hate of any kind. In this time of extreme sadness, anger and grief we stand with and support the young men we champion not just for a brighter future, but one that truly lives up to the ideals of unity expressed throughout the country today. We are grateful to our vast community of partners and friends who are standing with our students of color with compassion and empathy. We hold one another up and celebrate the differences that make us the rich tapestry that is America. We watch out for one another and stand up against the injustices that threaten not just dreams, but also lives. We all listen to really understand the struggles and deep hurt that some of us may never face. We all stand and rise together.

Black Lives Matter!
