For everyone
Who is it for ?
Who we serve
We focus on elementary and middle school students (Grades 1–8) from low-income and first-generation families. You don't need paperwork to start the conversation. If you think your child could benefit, reach out and we'll figure it out together.
How to join
Sessions happen at local libraries and via Zoom, so families across the Bay Area can join. Many of our families are first-generation. Many speak another language at home.
You belong herer
Plenty arrive unsure whether they "qualify". You do. If your child is behind and school can't give them the one-on-one attention they need, this was built for you.
