Mission Statement

ALearn's mission is to deliver high-quality math and college readiness programs to low-income, middle school students to prepare them for the "college track" in high school. In short, we aspire to put underserved youth on the path to academic success. Our programs help to close the "achievement gap" of at-risk youth in our area and to encourage them to prepare for high-demand 21st century jobs that provide a path out of poverty.

Description

We are a 501(3)c non-profit in Silicon Valley, helping low-income, underserved student achieve math proficiency and college readiness. Since 2008, we have served close to 8000 students in the neediest schools of the Bay Area. Our summer programs supplement the school year for low-income students who might have otherwise encountered "summer learning loss" not experienced by their higher income peers who are more readily able to attend summer camps. Our after-school programs supplement the school day and give struggling students the one-on-one support from a teacher and aid. Together with schools, community partners and donors, we strive to close the opportunity gap for low-income underserved students in Silicon Valley.
