Mission Statement
SMART champions education equity by supporting students in overcoming systemic barriers on their journey to a college degree. We envision a community with equitable pathways to college graduation for every student in San Francisco.
About This Cause
SMART provides a unique 8-year continuum of support that starts in 4th grade and goes all the way to college, including school support, after-school enrichment, summer programming, and college preparation. 4th Grade: Recruitment SMART identifies curious and motivated students from under-resourced schools who have the motivation to learn and lack only opportunity. Rising 5th & 6th Grades: Summer Academic Enrichment Program SMART’s Summer Academic Enrichment Program serves rising 5th and 6th grade students to prevent and reduce instances of summer learning loss, while providing enriching activities to develop and strengthen the positive bonds of youth to their peers and communities. School Enrollment SMART works with families to facilitate the admissions and financial aid process, advocating for families in schools, conducting tours, and training families to become strong educational champions through workshops and one-on-one guidance. 6th - 8th Grades: Middle School Achievement Program (MAP) MAP is a twice-weekly after-school program that equips our Scholars with the skills to succeed in academically rigorous schools and in life through tutoring, mentoring, and a curriculum designed to bolster them academically and social-emotionally. 8th - 12th Grades: College Achievement Program (CAP) Scholars in high school balance academic achievement while preparing for the next phase in their lives. CAP advances SMART Scholars toward high school graduation and a college education. Weekly programming supports our Scholars through career and college exploration and assists with the college and financial aid application processes, while emphasizing community engagement and self-advocacy.
