"A program that offers college credit classes to San Francisco County Jail inmates will add a psychology course and creative writing course with an emphasis on poetry to its curriculum next semester.
Through a 2012 partnership among City College of San Francisco, the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department and the Five Keys Charter School, inmates have previously had access to six units (generally equating to two courses) each semester."
New route: A bus takes learning to places where the streets are deadly

"With the Self-Determination Bus Project, a San Francisco-based nonprofit hopes to address safety issues that keep adults from earning their high school diplomas.
Where Shelia Hill comes from, people get shot for crossing the wrong street.
Visitacion Valley, a district that sits on the southeastern end of San Francisco near the San Mateo County line, has a history of substance abuse, drug dealing, and gang violence going back to the 1970s. It’s not unusual, Ms. Hill says, for young men in the neighborhood to kill each other because they come from rival gang territories – areas that could be just two blocks apart."
A San Francisco nonprofit transformed a city bus into a mobile classroom

"It’s been compared to an ice cream truck, luring people out of their homes for a taste of something wonderful. But our sleek, new mobile classroom on a retired city bus peddles something better: an education.
Our lime-green bus, emblazoned with the name The Self-Determination Project, is an ambassador for Five Keys, helping people choose their own path in life rather than stumbling along one strewn with gangs, drugs, and possibly, jail."
