Our Programs
Six core programs designed alongside communities to meet young people where they are and take them where they dream to go.
After-School Tutoring
Free one-on-one and small-group tutoring in math, reading, and science for students in grades 3 through 12. Our trained volunteer tutors work with each student to build confidence, close learning gaps, and develop study habits that last a lifetime.
Sessions run Monday through Thursday, 3:30 to 6:00 PM, at 22 community sites across the Bay Area. Every student receives an individualized learning plan and quarterly progress assessments.
STEM Workshops
Hands-on Saturday workshops in coding, robotics, environmental science, and data literacy. We spark curiosity in underrepresented youth and show them that careers in science and technology are within reach.
Each 8-week cohort culminates in a student showcase where participants present their projects to families, teachers, and local professionals. Industry partners from Google, Tesla, and Kaiser provide mentors and materials.
College Readiness
SAT/ACT prep courses, personal essay coaching, financial aid guidance, and campus visits for high school juniors and seniors. We walk alongside students through every step of the college application journey.
Our College Navigators — trained advisors, many of them program alumni — meet with students weekly beginning junior year and stay connected through freshman year of college to support the transition.
Summer Camp
A six-week residential and day camp experience that combines academic enrichment with outdoor adventure, arts, and leadership development. Camp eliminates the summer slide and gives kids a safe, joyful place to grow.
Campers explore nature, build confidence through team challenges, and participate in creative workshops led by local artists. Full scholarships are available for every family that needs one — no child is ever turned away.
Parent Workshops
Monthly bilingual workshops on college navigation, financial literacy, digital safety, and advocacy skills. We equip parents and caregivers with the knowledge and confidence to champion their children's education.
Workshops are held in English and Spanish with free childcare provided on-site. Topics are chosen by parent advisory councils at each community site, ensuring relevance and cultural responsiveness.
Community Gardens
Youth-led urban gardens at 8 program sites where students learn environmental science, nutrition, and entrepreneurship. Gardens provide fresh produce to local food banks and serve as living classrooms for our STEM curriculum.
Each garden is managed by a student leadership team that handles planting schedules, harvest logistics, and community distribution. It teaches responsibility, teamwork, and gives young people visible proof that their work matters.
