Founded in 2008, the Adams Street Foundation is the non-profit affiliate of the Urban Assembly School for Law & Justice. ASF serves its students — the majority of whom live near or below the poverty line — by integrating pre-college enrichment and college and career preparation into the school’s curriculum: one-on-one advising, essay and application support, financial aid guidance, study abroad, paid internships, courthouse trips, and after-school clubs open to every student, regardless of GPA.
