Out-of-School Time Grant
Out-Of-School Time Collaborative
SV2 has joined forces with the Sand Hill Foundation and The David and Lucile Packard Foundation to fund a cohort of summer school and after school program providers that emphasize academic success and college readiness for nearly 6,000 at‐risk middle and high school students in Silicon Valley.
In addition to grants, organizations will be able to participate in a learning community created to encourage partnerships and foster the sharing of best practices which will benefit academic programming and out‐of‐school services. By funding an entire cohort of organizations and bringing them together in an ongoing professional learning community, we believe we will be able to significantly amplify the impact of each individual grant, and allow both funders and Grantees to create a regional model for out‐of‐school time effectiveness that can potentially be shared and replicated throughout the country.

I have really enjoyed the education aspect of SV2. I learn so much from the First Friday speakers and from the workshops. I would recommend SV2 to anybody looking to be part of a dynamic group of people interested in making the world a better place.
