The College Bound Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in 1996, pairs mentors, our "Learning Coaches," with children from San Francisco public housing developments. We begin with children in the first or second grade and work with them through high school graduation. Our goal is to help children succeed in school and eventually go on to college.

Each Learning Coach makes a one-year commitment to meet once a week with his or her student for about two hours.

We are always in need of more volunteers to serve the many children that want to participate in our program. Each Learning Coach is matched with a child. Once a week, the Learning Coach picks the child up from home to spend a few hours together, often working on homework, talking, having pizza, or enjoying some other activity. Learn more >>
