College Bound Foundation
The College Bound Foundation's mission is to improve the educational performance and life choices of children from San Francisco public housing by pairing them with dedicated mentors, our Learning Coaches, and providing related support and enrichment activities. The cornerstone of our program is a one-to-one relationship between each child and a Learning Coach, beginning in the early years of elementary school and continuing through the child's graduation from high school.
The College Bound Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in 1996, pairs mentors, our Coaches with children from San Francisco public housing developments. We begin with children in the first or second grade and work with them through high school graduation. Our goal is to help children succeed in school and eventually go on to college. Each Coach makes a one-year commitment to meet once a week with his or her student for about two hours. Sessions include activities such as helping the student with that evening's homework, reading a book together, a trip to the library, a basketball game, or eating pizza. The concept is to encourage learning by providing a role model and devoting one-on-one attention.
