GET INVOLVED
In addition to making a donation, here are some of the ways you can connect and support foster youth in our community today!
At Pivotal, we see incredible potential in the foster youth we work with every day. We know how important it is to provide support and encouragement at every step of their academic and professional journey. This month let’s show these young people that they have a community rallying behind them, and that they are not alone.
This National Foster Care Month, make a gift to Pivotal and support our scholars as they achieve their dreams.

35 YEARS OF SERVICE
This year, Pivotal celebrates 35 years of serving foster youth. From our early beginnings as Silicon Valley Children’s Fund in 1989, we knew that foster youth could thrive given support and the opportunity to succeed. Since then, with support from caring community members like yourself, we have impacted the lives of more than 25,000 young people in and from foster care.
We caught up with a few of our alumni to see where they are now, and how Pivotal helped them along their path.

CONTRIBUTE TO OUR CAREER VIDEO LIBRARY
Share your professional journey and experience with our scholars. Many foster youth don't have personal connections to jobs they hope to pursue or a strong sense for what options are available to them. You can help them understand the work you do, the path you took to get where you are today, and any tips for those seeking to pursue a similar career path.

Are you engaged in the Silicon Valley professional community? Connect with us to help research possible internship and employment opportunities and expand students' professional networks.
