Code Switch Youth Leader, Ms. Deja Dunlap developed the Overachievers Fund to provide youth of color living in Las Vegas’ and in need of financial support with access to educational opportunities they otherwise might be excluded from.  Through microgrants, youth receive financial support to gain access to curriculum, extra-curricular activities, and other education related initiatives and activities they may not be able to afford on their own. For example, students taking AP courses often don’t have funds to take the test required to gain GPA boost and college credit.  The microfund would pay for these tests that schools don’t help with.

 Other examples, include paying for sports or music equipment to participate in extra-curricular activities, providing transportation fees to help students get to their job or interviews for jobs, paying for college applications, paying court or other fees to release students from the juvenile justice system's financial obligations, etc.

The fund is managed by the Code Switch Youth Advisory Board.
