Preparing our city’s young people for college, careers and life is an incredible honor and serious responsibility. When it comes to being ready for career options, nothing compares to first-hand experiences. That’s why we partner with businesses across San Francisco to create opportunities for work-based learning for thousands of high school students every year.
Read more below about ways to connect a young person in your life to paid internships and ways you can support by offering work-based learning opportunities to an SFUSD student.
In addition to more opportunities for our young people to learn, I hope 2019 brings great things to you and your family.
—Dr. Vincent Matthews, Superintendent

SF seeks equity with student surf program: ‘A wave doesn’t care who you are’
The average California surfer, studies show, is about 35 years old, college-educated and making $75,000 a year, enough income to own, on average, four surfboards. The typical surfer isn’t a low-income, Muni-riding San Francisco high school student who recently learned how to swim. Yet more than 100 teenagers from the Mission, Western Addition and other neighborhoods across the city are becoming part of the Bay Area’s surf scene, learning to catch waves and earning gym-class credit while wearing a wetsuit.

SF Preps: Lincoln finishes perfect season, wins football title in first state championship game hosted in San Francisco
Jovon Baker didn’t make a sound as he wrapped his arms tightly around his mother Laura at the 50-yard line of the City College of San Francisco’s football field. In a wordless embrace, there was only silent sobbing. Laura and her older son Joe have raised Jovon for the past 13 years. Laura leaves home at 6 a.m. and gets home at 11 at night to support her family, yet, she’s made it to every single one of her younger son’s football games, including Saturday’s state title game against Orange Glen, the first ever state title game hosted in San Francisco.
