HISTORY
The Fremont HS Alumni Foundation was founded in 2011 by South Central Los Angeles Alumni. We are a grassroots foundation entering our twelve year and our ninth as an official nonprofit. The foundation became an official 501 c(3) in 2014.
The Fremont High School Alumni Foundation started with the goal of educating on the importance higher education awareness to break the barriers of our community. In 2012, The Pathfinder Educational Scholarship Program was established to inpire and motivate youth in their pursuit of higher educational goals. Through the years, the foundation continued to mentor scholars during their first year of college.
The current statistics shows 87% of the scholars are first time generation college students. Therefore, in 2022, the Board developed the Pathfinder Peer Mentoring Program as part of our mission to provide guidance and support to the scholars during their college years. And provide tools for success through thier journey.
In addition, over 30% of youth live in single parent family homes. Also, the most current research shows 40% of children are living in poverty. The Board felt it was critical to establish a Pathfinder Alumni Youth Council Volunteer Program to engage in social justice issues awareness, and raise empowered voices who will change the narrative of economically disadvantage communities.
In 2022, we develop an academic training program through Master Classes which cover Financial Literacy, Higher Education, Mental Health and Advocacy. We want to encourage youth in their path to personal and career success. We are proud to be part of a community who cares about the future of South Central Los Angeles and John C. Fremont High School Youth.
