Mission Graduates is a nonprofit organization that increases the number of K-5th grade students in San Francisco who are prepared for and complete a college education. We work towards fulfilling our mission through a wide range of after-school support and services that serve over 4,800 children, youth and families each year.

The Mission Graduates Bessie Beacon is centered in the heart of the SOMA Community, and is a program model that includes afterschool and summer programming, school-day support, and parent engagement through a collaboration of program partners. For youth, we seek to create a sense of safety, promote skill mastery, develop supportive relationships, and demonstrate growth in youth development and academic measures.
