Youth Workforce Development
The Youth Workforce Development Program focuses on youth 13-21 years of age who want to develop job and life skills as well as college readiness. Youth will learn how to create resumes, cover letters, and portfolios that can increase chances of employment. There are stipend intern positions through this program as well.

Fitness requirements for the class of 2014 and beyond for PE
• Students must pass 5 of 6 sections of the FITNESSGRAM by the end of the 10th grade.
• Students who fail to pass the FITNESSGRAM by the end of the 10th grade will be required to re-enroll in PE until s/he passes the FITNESSGRAM.
• Students must take 2 years or PE and pass with a D or better.
• Failure to pass the FITNESSGRAM is not grounds for withholding a diploma.
Swim Test: It is highly recommended that each student pass the SFUSD Swimming Proficiency Test.
* This is different from previous years (classes graduating before 2014) where students MUST pass the swimming proficiency test as part of the PE requirement. It is only recommended for your class and thereafter. However, we highly recommend that you learn how to swim.
