In 1997, a group of UC Berkeley alumni organized an event called SpringFest, an academic enrichment camp for children from nearby Oakland, CA. We understood the need for role models and mentors for students in underserved communities and hoped to establish connections where we would one day see them at their college graduations!

Since then, we’ve held numerous academic camps, outings to nearby museums and parks, and much more! Our aim is for each child to experience how much God loves them through each encounter we have with them!

We volunteer our time developing content, preparing for our weekly program, and strategizing how to help children develop the necessary skills needed to be successful in life.
