Together We Can
Build a future where all students receive the education and
resources they need to achieve their highest potential.
OUR IMPACT
Enhancing Literacy
and Access
We believe every student deserves quality education. We offer resources that enhance literacy and foster critical thinking to empower SSFUSD students.
Fostering a Culture
of Belonging
At the heart of our work is a commitment to equity and inclusion, providing opportunities where students connect, build community, and thrive.
Families at the Heart
of Learning
We know that student success is a team effort, and that’s why we prioritize building strong connections between families, schools, and the community.
All students in the South San Francisco Unified School District (SSFUSD) deserve the best possible education. However, public funding is not enough to provide the the education our students deserve
COMMUNITY-LED
— We Embrace Diversity
SSFUSD is a culturally diverse district, with a student population self-identifying as 48% Hispanic/Latino, 21% Filipino, 20% Asian, and 6% White (2022-23). Notably, 23% of SSFUSD students are English Learners.
SETTING PRIORITIES
— We Enhance Equity
42% of SSFUSD students are socioeconomically disadvantaged. Although public schools receive extra funding for students with increased needs, students with multiple needs are only counted once, resulting in underfunding.
GUIDED BY DATA
— We Prioritize Student Outcomes
Less than half of SSFUSD 3rd-11th graders met state standards for English Language Arts (2022-23). As a result, we work with the district to identify trends like this and mobilize resources toward solutions.
We are a non-profit organization committed to educational equity, access, and excellence in all SSFUSD schools. More importantly, we aim to involve all parts of the SSFUSD community, including students, families, and educators, in identifying critical student needs and deciding what approaches to fund to support students’ long-term success.
Learn from Community
We believe community voices will help us learn about student barriers, needs, inequities and district-wide areas of opportunity.
Build Community Leadership
We create opportunities for more people to get involved in supporting education.
Form Partnerships for Impact
We develop partnerships with organizations to bring programs to SSFUSD schools.
Increase Investments in Education
We raise money from individuals and organizations to bring more resources to SSFUSD students.
