About Education Foundation of California

The Education Foundation of California is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in early 2023 by local agriculture, health, and business leaders with a mission to promote, support, and fund education, recreation, and health programs and initiatives in Central Coast communities. 

​

Our vision is for all young people, regardless of their circumstances or learning differences, to access unique educational programs that increase their post-secondary opportunities and unleash their intelligence and positive energy to build their lives and the community. As students claim their right to a quality education, they understand their options and realize they are capable of academic excellence, and become active participants in their future success through leadership, education, and technical training. Young people become empowered by their personal transformation, develop agency, and take responsibility for their post-secondary goals.

​

The mission of the Education Foundation of California is to cultivate collaborative learning communities that successfully prepare young people to earn a high school diploma and achieve academic excellence while simultaneously enrolling in post-secondary coursework and earning workforce certifications. We aim to prepare students to gain personal leadership skills, develop critical thinking, navigate career exploration, and master technical skills as they move toward successful careers, post-secondary education, and productive life.
