Building Futures Now

Building Futures Now opens the doors of the Bay Area’s top public and private schools to high potential low-income students of color. Through year round individualized support, Building Futures Now empowers students to develop the skills to succeed in junior high, high school, college, and beyond.

Description:
Each year, Building Futures Now launches an intensive recruitment campaign to identify up to 15 high potential, low-income students of color in the third grade within East Palo Alto, East Menlo Park and neighboring communities. Once accepted to the program, students participate in year-round programming and receive individualized support from full-time staff and committed volunteer tutors and mentors. Program components include: summer program, mentoring, after-school program, field trips, parent workshops and family assistance.

We currently have almost 30 students in two cohorts of fourth and fifth grade.
