  • Demo of their work in the tech field
  • Share their tech story

Dates and Times available for volunteers

  • Monday-Thursday: 11:00am-12:30 pm, 12:30pm-2pm (I am not making 3-5pm available for now, as that is when we have the majority of our site tours from volunteers)
  • July 13
  • June 19- July 19

Dates unavailable to volunteers

  • July 4
  • July 17
  • July 20 (Hack The Hood graduation)

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide the low-income youth of our community with the opportunities they need to achieve school success

Description

The Boys and Girls Clubs of the Peninsula's vision is that all young people, if they work hard, can live fulfilling lives with a good education, a fair paying job, decent housing, and the ability to raise a family. We want kids' futures to depend more upon their own actions and less upon the circumstances into which they were born.

It's an incredible time to live in Silicon Valley. Many are enjoying unprecedented levels of growth and wealth. People from all over the world are striving to move here to participate in our culture of optimism and opportunity. At the same time, this prosperity isn't being felt by all, and too many young people are growing up disconnected from what makes our community so dynamic.
