East Palo Alto Academy Foundation

East Palo Alto Academy Foundation (EPAAF) is a small nonprofit corporation dedicated to supporting the work of East Palo Alto Academy (EPAA), a public charter high school in the Bay Area. The mission of EPAAF is to advocate for, advance and raise funds to benefit the students and college-attending graduates of East Palo Alto Academy. The school serves over 300 students from East Palo Alto and nearby communities, and offers a unique blend of personalized learning, college preparation, early college access, and wellness programming. The organization is committed to raising annual support for the school, with a particular emphasis on its special programs. As such, the organization subsidizes key personnel within the high school, including a Director of Wellness and Student Support and an Early College Program Director. Finally, EPAAF works to link the work of the high school to the work and interests of faculty, staff and alumni within Stanford University, cultivating opportunities for research, coaching, and volunteerism in support of EPAA students. https://epaaf.org/
