Mission Graduates increases the number of K-12 students in San Francisco's Mission District who are prepared for and complete a college education. We work towards fulfilling our mission through a wide range of after-school support services that serve over 1,500 children, youth and families each year. Our vision is to transform the culture of our neighborhood so that college becomes the expectation for Mission families, rather than the exception.
We would like to invite you to volunteer as High School Mentors to work with our incoming High School seniors as they prepare for their college applications. Every summer, Mission Graduates pair Writing Partners with high school students to work one-on-one on writing their personal insight questions (PIQ) for college applications and scholarships, meeting weekly throughout the academic year. Writing Partners are able to cultivate meaningful relationships with youth and provide them with much-needed support in such an important chapter of their lives. If you are looking to give back to your community, develop meaningful relationships, and impact the lives of our San Francisco youth, you are encourage you to apply for this volunteer opportunity.
