Our mission is to partner with schools to Change the Odds for Kids
Originating in the challenging Shalimar Street neighborhood in 1994, Think Together has a rich history of proactively addressing societal challenges, from crime and drugs to gangs, teen pregnancy, and high school dropout rates.
Community leaders came together to open the doors of Shalimar Learning Center, a safe space for the neighborhood kids to come after school and get help with homework.
Over 100 kids showed up on the first day!
What began as a single neighborhood center has grown into programs in over 500 California schools – from San Diego to the Bay Area– serving 200,000 students.
Founded in 1997, Think Together partners with schools to change the odds for kids. Think Together delivers nationally-recognized expanded learning and early learning programs as well as school improvement, offered through affiliate partner Orenda Education.
We want a community where all kids get a great education that prepares them for college and career.
