Our #AF25 Summit brought together students, alumni, educators, staff, families, and partners from across our network to reflect on 25 years of impact and to dream boldly about what’s ahead.
We were inspired by student performances, energized by speakers like Misty Copeland and Geoffrey Canada, and moved by panels like our Alumni Full Circle Panel.
We also connected and celebrated together, from the alumni social to our staff soiree.
Thank you to everyone who made this event possible. Here’s to the next 25 years of joy, community, and student brilliance!

Today, we honor Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. and celebrates Black freedom, resilience, and joy. At Achievement First, we know that remembering our history is essential to building a more just future. We also know that true liberation means centering the brilliance, voices, and leadership of Black students, families, and educators every day, not just today.

We loved seeing so many of our incredible alumni at the AF25 Summit Alumni Social, a fun night of connection and celebration at Anchor Spa in New Haven. Hosted by our College & Career and Teacher Recruitment teams, the night was full of great energy, food, cocktails, raffles, gifts, and, most importantly, community. Here’s to 25 years of impact and the brilliant AF alumni who continue to lead and inspire. We loved celebrating with you!

We were honored to kick off our AF25 Summit with keynote speaker Misty Copeland, groundbreaking ballet dancer and a true icon of resilience, brilliance, and possibility. Her powerful story and words deeply moved us, reminding us of what’s possible when we believe in ourselves, in each other, and in the young people we serve.
A special highlight of the day: our incredibly talented student dancers had the unforgettable opportunity to perform for Misty and to meet her afterward in a heartfelt and inspiring meet-and-greet! It was a moment of connection and celebration that we’ll carry with us for a long time.
Thank you, Misty, for inspiring us to dream bigger and go further together.
