THINK Together is Helping Students & Schools Close the Achievement Gap

THINK Together is one of the nation’s largest and leading non-profit providers of after-school and other high-quality out-of-school learning programs (small group tutoring, summer learning, Saturday school, early literacy, etc.). Each year, our talented staff of 1,700 along with hundreds of volunteers serves 50,000 at-risk and low-income students at more than 200 sites across a four-county footprint of Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside & San Bernardino Counties).

THINK Together’s dedicated staff and high-quality learning programs have demonstrated they can successfully help students and local schools close the academic achievement gap. A multi-year longitudinal study indicates: in general, students who participate in THINK Together’s after-school learning programs show twice the rate of growth in their California Standards Test (CST) scores as compared to their local peers. Where THINK Together’s after-school programs are intentionally aligned with normal school-day learning, students show upwards of four times the rate of growth in their CST scores.

THINK is an acronym that stands for Teaching, Helping, Inspiring & Nurturing Kids. And “together” with parents, teachers, school administrators, volunteers and our dedicated staff, we’re helping our students achieve their full potential.

THINK Together, the next generation of after-school.
