Welcome to College Track San Francisco!
What is College Track?
College Track is a free program that empowers students from underserved communities to graduate from college. We make a 10-year commitment to our students and serve them during afterschool hours in the areas of academics, career and dreams exploration, and college advising. Our offerings include academic support, extracurriculars activities, connections to volunteer and internship opportunities, college tours, and support with financial aid and scholarships. College Track is 100% free and can help you or your student achieve their dream of obtaining a college education!
We currently serve 252 high school students and are recruiting current 9th graders (Class of 2028) to start with us in the Spring Semester.
