Spaces for Black students to dream, achieve, and lead.

Building on the potential of each and every child, AAALI’s programs increase proficiency in literacy, achievement in STEM, and promote community leadership, all while dismantling systemic barriers to success.

In order to achieve success, students must feel safe and affirmed in school. As a minority population in San Francisco, Black students are more likely to face systemic barriers to realizing their dreams.

The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is committed to ensuring equitable educational opportunities and outcomes for all students. Despite progress, African-American students in SFUSD face persistent disparities in academic achievement and leadership opportunities.

AAALI is designed to address these disparities by implementing targeted strategies to support the academic success and leadership development of African-American students.
