College Track is the catalyst for change for under-resourced high school students who are motivated to earn a college degree. Since its inception, College Track has grown each year, strengthening its services and expanding its program to support more and more students. College Track is an afterschool, college preparatory program that works to increase high school graduation, college eligibility and enrollment, and college graduation rates in under-resourced communities. Through our center-based approach and core service areas, College Track has created a culture of high expectations and success. We ensure that each student is college ready and provide support that many students do not have at home or school. We actively engage students over the course of eight years, from the summer before high school through college graduation. College Track expanded to San Francisco in 2007 and opened a center in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood. Beginning with a cohort of fifty freshmen, College Track’s San Francisco center serves 220 students who primarily live in the Bayview Hunters Point, Visitacion Valley/Sunnydale, and Mission/Excelsior neighborhoods, but who attend schools throughout the city. During the fall of 2012, the San Francisco site opens the doors of its brand new center at the heart of the Bayview. The new space will serve 500 students within five years.
