About Aspire Education
For over almost twenty years, Aspire Education has been the Bay Area’s nonprofit leader in effective supplemental education programming. By gathering a small community of educators stocked with content expertise and emotional intelligence, Aspire has been able to promise - and deliver - real results to thousands of Bay Area students.
Through our transformative tutoring program, we empower our students with the skills to become independent, active learners. Our work is driven by the conviction that, while potential is equally distributed across lines of race and class, opportunity is not. As a result, we work with individual students on a sliding scale and have partnered with dozens of fellow nonprofits to design custom programs for underserved students, from math courses that empower low-income young adults to begin a career in construction to test prep courses that propel high school juniors to become the first in their families to attend college.
