“Parents’ love for their children is the single greatest, most underutilized natural resource in education.”
Alejandro Gibes de Gac, Founder
Springboard Collaborative

Springboard Collaborative coaches families and educators to help kids read on grade level by 4th grade. Students gain on average 5 months of reading growth in essential literacy skills during our after-school program.

Why do California districts choose to partner with us?

• Our program provides equitable reading outcomes for all students.

• We help to lessen teacher burnout by engaging families as partners.

• We can scale and manage the supplemental reading program, restoring capacity to teams.

“Overall, I believe this program is extremely beneficial. I witnessed so much GROWTH from most of my scholars from the first day to the end of the program. This program WORKS. […] I saw a love and passion for reading and writing develop within my scholars and I know it’s something that will carry on to the next grade!”
- Mrs. Harris, Fresno Unified School District
