Nearly half of all students in Mexico are forced to abandon their education after grade 6
Families can’t afford the basic costs of schooling. This is more than an education crisis—it’s a cycle that limits opportunity and holds entire communities back.
ASF envisions a world, where Tijuana’s youth are emboldened to dream about their futures and have the resources and agency they need to pursue those dreams through education.
Crossroads
The jump from elementary school to middle school is a breaking point—when financial strain and limited support push many students out of the classroom.
Barriers
Even those who stay enrolled face daily barriers like transportation costs, academic gaps, and little guidance about what comes next.
Isolation
Without long-term financial support, mentorship, and community, too many students are left to navigate the path to university totally alone.
Transformation Through Education!
Empowering Students
ASF levels the playing field by providing youth in one of Tijuana’s most unsafe and impoverished regions with the finances, academic support, and culturally responsive resources they need to access high quality education and thrive.
Building Leaders
Our diverse, binational team of educators, mental health advocates, community leaders, and alumni work to ensure that, upon graduation, students are equipped with the skills, experience and confidence to successfully enter the job market and engage in their communities.
Invest in the Future, Today
You have the power to turn aspirations into achievements. Your donation gives students the tools, education, and encouragement they need to break barriers and reach their full potential.

Meet Dennise, a volunteer whose story is deeply woven into the mission of ASF. 🌟
She first heard about ASF through Jose Mondragon, a former ASF board member, and it instantly struck a chord. Being from Tijuana herself, she knew firsthand the realities of the students we support. “I moved to the United States in 2019, but my roots, my heart, and my educational foundation will always belong to Mexico.” she shared. “I refuse to sit on the sidelines now that I am in a position to help.”
We’re grateful for volunteers like Dennise who show up, again and again, for our students. 💙

Conoce a Dennise, una voluntaria cuya historia está profundamente entrelazada con la misión de ASF. 🌟
Ella supo de ASF por Jose Mondragón, ex miembro de la mesa directiva de ASF, y de inmediato sintió una conexión especial.
Al ser de Tijuana, conocía de primera mano las realidades de los estudiantes a quienes apoyamos. “Me mudé a Estados Unidos en 2019, pero mis raíces, mi corazón y mi formación educativa siempre pertenecerán a México,” compartió. “Me niego a quedarme al margen ahora que estoy en posición de ayudar.”
Estamos agradecidos por voluntarias como Dennise, que están presentes una y otra vez para nuestros estudiantes. 🤍
