Who We Serve

Aim High targets and recruits students who benefit the most from our programs – those who live in underserved neighborhoods in San Francisco, Oakland, Marin Count, the Peninsula, and Tahoe/Truckee, attend underperforming schools, live in low-income households, and have limited access to educational opportunities. Aim High operates summer school campuses in some of the most impoverished Bay Area neighborhoods.
