At the core of The Family School's success is an organizational commitment to reaching beyond the comfort zone into new areas that have the potential to transform the lives of program participants and their communities. That commitment has lead The Family School to look internally and externally for new opportunities, to introduce new programs to meet the ever-changing needs of San Francisco's low income families, and to continually evaluate the effectiveness of programs. Annually, hundreds of children, youth and families participate in The Family School's programs. Some key outcomes include:

More than 215 unemployed or underemployed individuals have completed training and have been placed into employment through STRIVE San Francisco. Read these graduates' inspirational success stories.

More than 150 men have addressed their child support payments since this program's inception.

Each year, 70 children receive high quality, affordable reliable child care in The Family School's two child development centers.
