Brian Gadsden
A fulltime consultant, Brian Gadsden was first introduced to First Graduate through a mentoring recruitment campaign. He became a mentor and was paired with his mentee in the fall of 2002. He has since provided his time volunteering at many First Graduate events, providing guidance to his mentee, and contributing financially to the organization.
Brian believes in the power of education to change lives and he continues to provide his support to First Graduate.
Summer classes prepare students for the rigors of high school through intensive classes taught by credentialed teachers and interns. The curriculum focuses on language arts and mathematics skills, with enrichment classes in the arts. Older students participate in our Urbanology course, a multi-disciplinary study of the city of San Francisco emphasizing research, presentation, and group-learning skills.
