Inaugural Partnership Celebration
Join City Year San Jose / Silicon Valley to celebrate a groundbreaking new partnership with the Ravenswood City School District!
Join us to celebrate, learn and grow!
City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley (CYSJSV) leaders, along with AmeriCorps youth, Ravenswood City School District (RCSD) leadership and partners from the community and private sector are excited to celebrate the great outcomes during this inaugural year of the partnership, as well as expectations for the future as we close out the highly successful first year of this
collaboration in educational equity. This is a moment to mark the hope and promise we have for our students, our AmeriCorps Members, and our community.
Featured speakers at this event will include:
- Charlie Pappis, Applied Materials (retired) and Chair of CYSJSV Advisory Board
- Gina Sudaria, Superintendent of Ravenswood City School District
- Jenni Luke, VP Community Impact San Francisco 49ers and Member of CYSJSV Advisory Board
- Luke Hostetter, Executive Director, City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley
RCSD is less than three miles from Stanford University, yet has one of the highest percentages of homeless students in the state. More than 37% of the district’s 3,076 students are homeless, and of those, 96% live “doubled up” with other families, sharing a home, apartment or even a garage. Also, nearly 88% of Ravenswood students qualify for free and reduced-price lunch, and 64% are English learners.
