Our 
History 

In 2011, Neyda Yaneth, a proud and passionate Fremont High School alumna, recognized a profound need for alumni to step up as role models and champions of higher education. She envisioned a future where South Central Los Angeles youth could break barriers, rewrite their narratives, and reach new heights of success.

​

Fueled by this vision, Neyda brought together a dedicated group of fellow alumni to establish what would soon become a beacon of hope for Fremont students—the Fremont High School Alumni Foundation. Their mission: to inspire, guide, and uplift the next generation through mentorship, education, and opportunity.

​

By 2014, thanks to the tireless efforts of alumni leaders Jorge Hernandez, Luis Cabrales, Pablo Mejia, Maria Bautista, Ana Hinds, and founder Neyda Yaneth, the foundation earned its official 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, cementing its role as a transformative force in the community.

Through the years, the foundation has transformed and impacted countless Fremont High School students, helping them pursue their educational dreams. With a commitment to uplifting scholars, the foundation has developed meaningful programs to guide and support students throughout their journey.

  • The Educational Scholarship Program has been a catalyst for change, providing financial scholarships to Fremont students as they begin their college journeys.

  • The Pathfinder Peer Mentoring Program and Alumni Youth Council were created to build a strong community of future alumni—leaders who will return to their roots and continue the cycle of mentorship and empowerment.

  • In 2022, in response to the rise of anxiety and mental health challenges stemming from the pandemic, the foundation launched the Summer for Self-Care Project, fostering wellness and resilience among students.

Today, the Board of Directors ( Jaime Lopez, Jonathan Crespin, Luis Larios, Javier Sanchez, Neyda Yaneth), Advisory Board, Fremont Alumni,  and South Los Angeles Alumni stand at the forefront of change. Through the foundation’s work, they are not only uplifting the next generation but also leaving a lasting impact, shaping a legacy of hope, opportunity, and transformation. Together, we are making history and creating positive change
