Our Mission:
To educate, empower and mentor the next generation of leaders and voices for change through education, wellness, and financial literacy—equipping them to lead with purpose and transform their communities.

We are a grassroots 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Fremont HS Students and community. By promoting higher education, financial literacy, and wellness awareness, we aim to build a stronger, more resilient community.

Our youth face significant challenges:

​

• Poverty: Approximately 30% of residents in South Los Angeles live below the poverty line, which is double the rate of Los Angeles County as a whole.

  ​

• Single-Parent Households: A substantial number (74%) of youth in South Los Angeles are raised in single-parent homes, contributing to economic and social challenges.

  ​

• First-Generation College Students: Many of our scholars (87%) are the first in their families to pursue higher education, navigating uncharted territory without familial guidance.

  ​

These challenges are compounded by rising violence and crime, highlighting the urgent need for support and change. Together, we can shift the narrative of our community.

​

FHSAF is committed to collaborating with Fremont Alumni, South Los Angeles Alumni, educators, corporate and community members to foster a supportive community for fellow alumni, current students, and our neighbors. Your generosity has been instrumental in paving the way for our youth to achieve their dreams of higher education and a brighter future. Through your contributions, programs like the Pathfinder Educational Scholarship Program, the "Think Outside: Summer for Wellness" Summer Project, the Pathfinder Peer Mentoring Program, and the Pathfinder Alumni Youth Council have made a significant impact.  In addition, the educational workshops we offer to the alumni youth council continue to empower and equip them with the tools they need to succeed.

​

Together, we are transforming challenges into opportunities, ensuring a hopeful and prosperous future for the youth of South Los Angeles.
