Kids from the foster care system need more help than the average youth does to succeed. Pivotal has a strong reputation in Silicon Valley for guiding foster youth to career success. With Pivotal support, foster youth are proven to graduate from high school and college at significantly higher rates than their foster youth peers.
Our academic and career readiness tools for foster youth include 1:1 coaching from trauma-informed experts, STEM classes, subject-specific tutoring, college scholarships, professional development workshops, and summer internships. We open doors for foster youth to succeed in life.
As soon as foster youth hit high school, we get them paired up with a coach who will look out for their academic success and help them to navigate the most critical years in a kid's life. We set them up with STEM learning and summer internships to round out their learning experiences.
Everyone agrees that the foster care ecosystem needs to respond better to foster youth's realities. Our impact speaks for itself. With over 20 years of experience in consistently increasing graduation rates among foster youth, our public and private partners support our mission and help us lead those change efforts.
Pivotal is the only agency in Silicon Valley to offer a blend of trauma-informed coaching, STEM enrichment, and access to college scholarships and summer internships specifically geared to foster youth. Our programs are data-driven, optimized for success, and always evolving to better suit foster youth's needs.
Time, money, talents. Consider sharing one, two, or all three with foster youth. All kids deserve to have someone out there cheering them on. Be that person for one of our foster youth.
