Opportunities For All Partner Engagement
DEVELOPING VIABLE PATHWAYS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUCCESS
Opportunities for All (OFA) is building partnerships and pathways that focus on postsecondary success, career development, and economic mobility. Spearheaded by Mayor London Breed in 2018, OFA is committed to building an inclusive program that offers opportunities to all young people, wherever they are on their journey.
Successful work-based learning programs are comprehensive and operate with intentionality, connecting a youth’s experiences, skills, and interests with a related industry.
OFA Partners make a critical difference in the lives of young people by providing them the opportunity to develop personally, build professional skills, and gain social capital. Many of our Partners become long-term mentors, and are instrumental to a young person meeting their goals.

CODE TENDERLOIN
Code Tenderloin has been an Opportunities For All Partner since its inception. Code TL introduces San Francisco youth to tech in a way that is both valuable and fun, helping them to develop and build their skills.
Through their Web Development Program, Code TL teaches interns the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Through a mix of both instruction and project-based learning, interns build their own website from scratch using their new frontend web development skills, leveraging both soft skills and technical training to share their story and their goals.
Their Robotics Program provides an engaging introduction into the field of robotics where student interns learn python, simple block code, and use those skills to remotely control a robot live to carry out tasks and further projects! Opportunities For All is proud to partner with Code Tenderloin to provide meaningful internships for San Francisco youth!
