More than 2.4 million students in California aren’t meeting grade-level expectations. This affects not only their futures but the strength of our communities.

Middle School: A Critical Crossroads

Middle school is a time of major transition. Many students fall behind due to limited access to high-impact tutoring and high quality after school enrichment programs. Think Together’s middle school programs integrate AVID, the arts, and competitive sports to foster whole-child development at this pivotal stage. 

Your donation helps fund these programs, giving middle schoolers the structure and confidence they need to thrive.

High School: Preparing for What’s Next 

High school is when students start to define their future. But with federal funding for high school programs in question, critical opportunities like career exploration and college readiness are at risk. Think Together helps fill that gap by providing students with leadership development, hands-on learning experiences, and access to cutting-edge technology, including coding, AI exploration, and digital literacy. These programs equip students with the skills and confidence they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving world. 

Your donation ensures these students have access to opportunities that set them up for long-term success.
