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 & Access

We believe every student deserves quality education. By offering resources that enhance literacy and foster critical thinking, we empower students to reach their full potential.

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 emotionally.

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.

OUR FOCUS

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.

Our Approach

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.

2024-25 ANNUAL GIVING CAMPAIGN

We hope to raise at least $10,000 in community donations to continue and expand the initiatives we fund. Any amount is appreciated and all donors this school year will be acknowledged in our next annual report.

A generous community member has agreed to match every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000.
This will double the impact of your support!
