The Phoenix Scholars recently partnered with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Our work was highlighted in their Philanthropy Magazine’s “What If” Section.

Please read and share the story with your family, friends, and social network.

The story imagines a hypothetical world where every student is given the resources and opportunities needed for success–resources and opportunities that we are providing through strong mentorship, modeling and support.
Please visit our Donate Now page in order to support and continue our mission.

Everything the counselors say is so overwhelming that I feel like a deer caught in the headlights. When I first read about the Phoenix Project, I knew that this was for me. — Phoenix Scholar 2011-2012
