Tutoring in progress! 140 Children Helped, 60 to go.
From invisible to invincible, your support changes everything!
It’s heartbreaking, but true: thousands of children in San Francisco are struggling in silence.
We assume that every child has access to a good education. On the surface, everything looks fine. But beneath that surface, the reality is different. With SFUSD under immense financial pressure and the pandemic’s impact still deepening the learning gap, struggling students desperately need our help.
More than half of the 4th-grade students in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) who come from families experiencing homelessness or poverty are below grade level in reading and math. Without intervention, they will never catch up. Many will not graduate high school, and from there they will eventually become part of the next generation of low-income, housing-insecure San Franciscans.
Urban Angels SF has a way we can change their futures!
The answer is direct, focused tutoring.
In March, Urban Angels SF raised $14,000, thanks to incredible supporters like you. These funds will provide one-on-one tutoring to 140 students in grades 2-6 twice a week for a full year with a trained tutor. This program has a proven track record of success: helping children catch up, gain confidence, and do better academically.
Urban Angels SF is leveraging its strong partnerships developed over the past 10 years with SF shelters and short-term residences where over 3,000 of these students live. UASF is bringing this highly effective tutoring program directly to these, our most underserved children in San Francisco.
We still need to raise $6,000 more to reach our goal of $20,000, which will allow us to enroll all 200 children.
These kids are out of sight – but they shouldn’t be out of mind. We are their best chance.
