Silicon Valley Education Foundation

Silicon Valley Education Foundation is a non-profit that helps students from low-income backgrounds achieve math proficiency and college readiness. We serve over 5,000 students each summer in the neediest schools in the Bay Area.

Our summer programs supplement the school year for low-income students who might otherwise encounter "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.
