The Dr. Frank S. Greene Scholars Program helps youth of African ancestry in San Francisco Bay Area communities pursue higher education in science, technology, engineering and/or math. The program was founded by Debra Watkins under the auspices of the California Alliance of African American Educators (CAAAE) and later transitioned to its own self-sustaining non-profit organization. Its leadership team includes Jahmal Williams, Gina Hendy, Ayodele Thomas, Arthur Greene, Debra Watkins, Ken Crawford, Taryn Grogan, and Marvin Dozier. GSP parents contribute over 4000 hours in and out of the classroom each year.
