In Silicon Valley, Latinos make up 25% of the population, but only 3% of the high-tech workforce (Baron, 2012). Latina women number even fewer in high-tech fields. The underrepresentation of women, Latinos and other minority groups in STEM represents a waste of talent. As a leader in technology and innovation, Silicon Valley’s competitive edge is dependent on a highly educated workforce, but the unfortunate reality is that we lack a robust pipeline of homegrown candidates. Breakthrough Silicon Valley addresses this critical need. We expand the pool of highly skilled professionals and develop leaders who reflect the changing demographics of our region.

MAKE A POWERFUL IMPACT AS A GUEST SPEAKER AT BREAKTHROUGH SILICON VALLEY’S STEM CHALLENGE AND CHAT!

Silicon Valley Children's Fund (SVCF) and TeenForce are 501(c)(3) nonprofits that are committed to improving the educational, career and life outcomes of foster youth in Silicon Valley. Our education and employment pathways provide ten years of support to foster youth, ultimately helping them achieve self-reliance. Currently, less than 50% of foster youth graduate high school whereas SVCF scholars have an 83% graduation rate. Our scholars are 10x more likely to graduate from college, compared to only 3% of foster youth nationally.

In partnership with Table-for-Three, SVCF is co-hosting our 2nd Annual STAR Chefs Event. Proceeds from the event will support SVCF and TeenForce programs that provide support to local foster youth.

STAR Chefs is a unique opportunity to sample pairings from some of the Bay Area’s BEST chefs, some of which are from Michelin rated restaurants, all under one roof at Forager (Downtown San Jose). We are expecting over a dozen local chefs from some of the Bay Area’s best restaurants including the renown Manresa and Chez TJ.

Quality, committed volunteers contribute to the success of this 350+ person event and ensure a smooth-running operation.

We need 60 volunteers, divided up into three volunteer slots:

3 pm - 6 pm (3hrs) - Volunteer Set Up/Registration/Chef Waiter & Busser Support
5 pm - 8 pm (3hrs) - Volunteer Chef Waiter & Busser Support
7 pm - 10 pm (3hrs) - Volunteer Chef Waiter & Busser Support/Clean Up

If you would like to volunteer please contact Brandy Wright: brandy.wright@svcf.org and share your preferred volunteer time slot.

We hope that you will join us! Thank you!!!

new Creator with Google is a programing workshop event with Googlers and HACK JAPAN's volunteer staff held at Osaka Japan. HACK JAPAN has worked with participating on workshop in the west japan area and since last year we taught about 200 kids and students in our entrepreneurship and programing education program.

This workshop we do is a very important opportunity for kids in Osaka because in the Osaka(Kansai) area programing education is not enough than other big cities like Tokyo and Fukuoka. So, to make our workshop sustainable we are doing this workshop with Google.

・家の中に勉強できる環境がないため宿題をしたくてもすることができない
など様々な課題を持った子供が参加しています。
このような子供達にマナビバを通して学習する楽しさや子供達が将来について考える機会を作り、日本で今課題となっている「貧困の連鎖」を教育格差の改善によって止めることを目的としています。

[ボランティアの内容]

◎子供の状況によってマンツーマンでの学習指導
