25th Anniversary

This year, Think Together proudly celebrates 25 years of impacting students by partnering with schools to provide expanded learning programs.

Think Together has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 1994 at our Shalimar Learning Center to the present day where we provide programming in over 400 school sites across California.

As Randy Barth, Founder & CEO of Think Together, always says, “It takes a village.” Join us as we honor the staff members, school partners, alumni, and generous donors who all make up this village.

We’re privileged to do this work toward our mission of changing the odds for students and can’t wait to see what the next 25 years look like for Think Together.
