March to College

Join First Graduate® on Thursday, May 12th, as we march with students and parents in support of the idea that college-going should be an option for all students in San Francisco.

The march begins at 3:00pm at Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8 School, and the college rally will begin at 4:00pm at John O’Connell High School. The event concludes at 5:30pm.

After the rally First Graduate staff and some current college students will be available to chat with parents and students about what it takes to get to college.

Hope to see you there!

To Everyone Who Attended Cap & Gown 2023: Thank You!

As we celebrate our newest graduates, remember that first-generation students can move from sixth grade through college graduation and into meaningful careers because of you and your support! And we couldn’t do it without the help of our corporate supporters: Hamilton Zanze, Dodge & Cox, Accenture, Adobe, KPMG, BSSP, Millennium Career Advantage, and GoodRx.
