Summer Search has been supporting young people from low-income backgrounds to become educated, thriving young adults for 30 years — and now this support is more critical than ever. 

The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is creating rippling repercussions for Summer Search’s students and families — such as loss of school lunches, loss of hourly-wage jobs, lack of paid sick leave, uncertainty for students returning home from college, and shuttering of small family businesses. 

With schools and other support systems closed, Summer Search has become one of the few constants young people can count on for the support they need. Summer Search remains committed to supporting students and their families in the Bay Area through the pandemic.

This is why I'm asking for your support today. 

When you donate to Summer Search, you help young people discover the power and resilience within themselves. Your generous support opens doors for high school students with high potential but little access to the privileges society often requires to achieve upward mobility. Our comprehensive program gives Summer Search students sustained, holistic support from high school, through post-secondary college and career pursuits and beyond so that they thrive in adulthood.

Why I donate to Summer Search: Summer Search is a life-changing program that transforms what they believe is possible for themselves. From speaking with students after their eye-opening summer trips to seeing the strength and confidence they carry at the end of the program, I've been truly amazed at how Summer Search has changed so many students' lives.

At Summer Search, we believe our world is better off when everyone can discover their purpose. Yet, for too many bright young people, obstacles unfairly block their search.
