 Up
On Top’s mission is to offer hope, stability, and fun to
children of low-income families in San Francisco, preparing them
to be successful in school and in life.
Up
On Top creates a nurturing environment, which prepares children for
academic and social success. A well-rounded curriculum is offered
including homework support, academic tutoring and enrichment, science,
leadership classes and field trips. The Creative Arts Program includes
art and music classes taught by professional artists.
The staff oversee two after school programs for children in grades K-5 and
they help them become comfortable readers by the fifth grade and competent with
math at their grade level. The staff works closely with each child’s teacher,
parents and caregivers to reinforce academic skills.
During the summer, Up On Top also offers an all-day Summer Program for multiethnic
children from K-5th grade that includes daily academics in the morning and in
the afternoon field trips and swimming lessons.
Research shows that if children are not reading comfortably by the third
grade they are more vulnerable to drug usage, teen pregnancy or incarceration in
later years. The Up On Top program helps to prevent these negative behaviors in
children by reinforcing good reading, writing and math skills by the fifth
grade, preparing children for middle school and beyond.
