Providing The Educational Opportunities That Change Lives

From our origins as an after-school tutoring program that serves students in Richmond and San Francisco, we’ve evolved into a comprehensive, holistic, year-round educational support program that includes the charter middle school Making Waves Academy, a new high school campus in Richmond that will open in September 2011, and a college program that helps our ever-increasing number of high school graduates by providing scholarships and counseling. As Anaya Nassor, Making Waves Director of Student Life, said, "We address more than just academics here, including counseling, mentoring, food, creative outlets, and parent education." |
