Silicon Valley Cultural Association

We harness the power of AI and technology to close opportunity gaps—preparing underrepresented students with college readiness, STEM skills, and future-ready competencies.

About Us

We are a Silicon Valley-based nonprofit committed to advancing educational equity by empowering first-generation and low-income students to access and succeed in higher education. We believe that every student-regardless of background-deserves the opportunity to pursue their academic and career dreams. By combining mentorship, college readiness programs, and innovative learning tools, we help students bridge the opportunity gap and build a foundation for lifelong success.
