The Santa Cruz Education Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to ensure that every one of the 7,000 students at our 10 campuses, in kindergarten through high school, has an outstanding educational experience.
The Santa Cruz Education Foundation was formed in 2003 by a diverse group of parents, educators and community leaders. We believe in great neighborhood schools, open and accessible to all children in our community. The Foundation seeks to enhance the quality of Santa Cruz City Schools by raising private money to augment declining government funding.
Our Goals:
Año Nuevo Reserve is one of the University of California's 39 Natural Reserves. It is located a short drive north of Santa Cruz and is an important breeding site for an incredible diversity of marine mammals and birds. Nearly 100,000 tourists visit the Reserve every year to see the northern elephant seals on docent-led tours.
The close proximity of the Reserve to UC Santa Cruz and several other universities make it a hotspot for undergraduate experiential learning. Students obtain hands-on research experience while working on world-class scientific research projects, resulting in dozens of peer-reviewed publlications annually.
Recent research topics include:
The Homeless Garden Project provides job training, transitional employment and support services to people who are experiencing homelessness. HGP's vibrant education and volunteer program for the broad community blends formal, experiential and service-learning. The programs take place in our 3-acre organic farm and related enterprises.
In May of 1990, the Citizens Committee for the Homeless, a Santa Cruz County non-profit, began a new project by opening the gates of an organic garden on Pelton Avenue. The Homeless Garden Project would provide job-training and meaningful work in a therapeutic environment. The Project began as a place to provide sanctuary, refuge and meaningful work within the healing environment of the organic farm.
