San Francisco 49ers Academy of East Palo Alto

The mission of the San Francisco 49ers Academy is to provide students with a community of support that empowers them to be engaged in school, reach their full potential, and achieve academic and personal success in middle school, high school and beyond. We envision a future where the possibilities, opportunities and dreams for all youth are limitless regardless of race, gender, or socio-economic circumstances. By providing students with the resources, relationships, and services they need, the 49ers Academy is changing lives – one student at a time.

Located in East Palo Alto, the 49ers Academy is a private nonprofit agency embedded in the public school system that provides on-site services, staff, and programs to middle and high school students. This flexible and self-sustained model allows the 49ers Academy to address the ongoing challenges facing low income students and to help bridge the ever-widening opportunity gap.
