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.

We’re still thinking about this moment from Floral Fiesta…
It was a beautiful afternoon, made even more memorable by the incredible talent in our community. 🙌🏼
We had musicians who set the mood all afternoon, artists who brought color and personality to every corner of the space, and a baker who also happens to be an ASF alum, who made every cupcake a little work of art.
A special thank you to @cheapestees for donating the tote bags, each one hand-painted by the talented @maralove, a true artist and valued member of our community. Those tote bags went home with donors who believed in our students, and we couldn’t think of a better way to thank you. 🌼💛
To everyone who supported Floral Fiesta in any way, you are seen, you are appreciated, and because of you, our mission continues to grow. 🌟

Todavía estamos pensando en este momento de Floral Fiesta…
Fue una tarde hermosa, aún más memorable gracias al increíble talento de nuestra comunidad. 🙌🏼
Tuvimos músicos que marcaron el ambiente durante toda la tarde, artistas que le dieron color y personalidad a cada rincón del espacio, y una repostera que además es exalumna de ASF, quien convirtió cada cupcake en una pequeña obra de arte.
Un agradecimiento especial a @cheapestees por donar las bolsas, cada una pintada a mano por la talentosa @maralove, una verdadera artista y valiosa miembra de nuestra comunidad. Esas bolsas se fueron a casa con los donantes que creyeron en nuestros estudiantes, y no podríamos pensar en una mejor manera de agradecerles. 🌸
A todos los que apoyaron Floral Fiesta de alguna manera: son vistos, son apreciados, y gracias a ustedes, nuestra misión sigue creciendo. 🌟
