Our Story

Fostering Future Leaders: Cultivating “El Sí Se Puede”

Founded in 2011 by alumna Neyda Yaneth with support from Fremont alumni, the Fremont High School Alumni Foundation (FHSAF) champions higher education and mentorship for students at John C. Fremont HS in South Central Los Angeles. Officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2014, FHSAF is a grassroots movement committed to empowering youth to overcome challenges and thrive.

Core Mission

Dedicated to educational empowerment through financial literacy, wellness education, and mentorship, FHSAF equips students to pursue higher education with confidence—anchored in the belief of “Sí se puede.”

Key Initiatives

Pathfinder Educational Scholarship Program (2012): Provides essential financial support to college-bound Fremont students. In 2024, FHSAF introduced the Brilla Grant, encouraging student-led campus organizations to spark community change.
Pathfinder Mentoring Program (2022): Offers guidance on college readiness, financial literacy, mental health, and advocacy.

Driven by a committed Board, Advisory Board, educators, and families, FHSAF nurtures resilient leaders through scholarships and mentorship, all guided by the spirit of “Sí se puede.”
