WE KEEP FOSTER
YOUTH AT THE CENTER OF OUR WORK
Every young person deserves a life filled with opportunity and happiness.
COACHING
Our coaches help each every foster youth focus on what it takes to be successful in school and on the job. Their support goes far beyond the basics of academic and career counseling. Pivotal coaches are highly trained professionals. They use evidence-backed practices for working with students who have experienced trauma as children. Our coaches help young people from foster care move beyond their past and focus on their success.
CAREERS
It’s no secret: all kids benefit from learning experiences beyond the classroom. Foster youth typically do not have the resources to have those experiences. Our coaches help high school and post secondary foster youth the opportunities to explore career interests, build self-confidence, and receive mentorship from career professionals.
ACCESS
Foster youth need a more level playing field to succeed. That’s why we provide college scholarships and connect them to academic tutoring services so they can fill in academic gaps. We help them find cool internships and jobs in Silicon Valley that match their career goals. At Pivotal, access is about equity.
