About Us

The ExCEL After School Programs mission is to create and sustain "safe havens" at public schools where students and community members can access expanded learning opportunities and integrated education, health, social service, and cultural programs in the out-of-school hours.

Lead Agencies
SHPD ExCEL demonstrates commitment to sustainability through partnerships
with city and community agencies. Beyond SHPD ExCEL’s continual
search for sustainable funds and partners, each after school sites’
participating agency contributes resources, both in-kind and in-cash,
in order to fulfill their 50% match requirement. In addition, SHPD
ExCEL partners with San Francisco’s Department of Children, Youth
and their Families to ensure that the funds from local children’s
tax initiative supports the sustainability of SHPD ExCEL programs
and partners.
