Achievers
High School Program
SFA’s Achievers Program starts our Culture of Continuation strategy. Starting at the middle-to-high school transition, we assure both the parents of and incoming high school freshmen are aware of College Entrance (A-G) requirements. Students must pass this sequence of HS courses (with a C grade or better)to be minimally eligible for admission to UC and CSU systems.
African-American young men face a tremendous number of challenges, some seem insurmountable, but with guidance and support, there is no doubt they can succeed. Approximately 40% of African American students graduate A-G compliant; and only 77% graduate in 4 years and matriculate to a four-year college or university. As a community, we can certainly do better.
SFA provides targeted services to support students who not only aspire to but who may be the first in their families to attend college. Many of these students are unaware of what they need to do to make it to college and they need our support.

Leadership Academy
Junior and senior years are pivotal in a young person’s life, as they prepare to transition into adulthood and face significant decisions about their future. Providing the right guidance and support during this time is essential to ensure a smooth transition, whether students plan to attend college or enter the workforce. Without this support, many may struggle—especially African American young men, for whom the challenges can be even greater.
San Francisco Achievers’ Leadership Academy is dedicated to helping high school juniors and seniors navigate these challenges. We recognize that education alone does not always lead to career success—access to professional networks is key. The Leadership Academy addresses this by equipping students with the tools and connections they need to build a future. Our program focuses on helping them develop a practical plan, build academic and professional networks, and transition smoothly from high school to either college or employment.
The Academy emphasizes education, empowerment, and exploration, fostering personal, social, and professional growth for each Achiever.
