Leaves are on the ground, and there’s a crisp fall chill in the air! Our @af_providence_es scholars work hard so they can play hard, too! This week, they enjoyed an awesome field trip to Adam’s Farm, where they fed animals, picked pumpkins, and dove into all things fall! Swipe to catch all the highlights. 🍂🎃🚜

At AF, we believe learning extends far beyond the classroom walls—our cities become places for growth and exploration! Earlier this month, our AF Ujima scholars ventured to the Atlassian offices in Manhattan as part of their Code2College program. We love seeing our students engage with industry leaders and dive into real-world experiences as they develop their passions. Our scholars #StriveForExcellence in everything they do!

Today, on #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor and recognize the rich cultures and histories of Indigenous peoples and acknowledge that our schools operate and exist on lands long inhabited by Native communities.

At Achievement First, we are committed to:
Educating ourselves and others about the deep cultural heritage and the histories of displacement that Indigenous communities have faced and understanding the contributions Indigenous people are making to our society today.

Acknowledging the land we are on while understanding that true justice requires action beyond words.
Supporting Indigenous-led movements for land repatriation and justice.

Achievement First recently held its Network Support convening in person for the first time in several years, and it was wonderful to see everyone together! We enjoyed quality time with our teammates, built new connections, and strengthened our commitment to our mission and vision. As a Network, we truly embodied the spirit of going further together.

Check out some photos from the event!
