About Us

Supporting Homeless Youth in Silicon Valley

At Cupertino High School, we are excited to launch our very own chapter of Project WORTHY, to support homeless youth in our community. Recognizing the lack of volunteering opportunities focused on this underserved group, we aim to provide students with a meaningful way to give back. Through outreach, social media campaigns, and hands-on volunteer activities, we seek to raise awareness, inspire action, and create lasting positive change for homeless youth in Silicon Valley. We believe that every young person deserves the chance to thrive—and together, we can make that vision a reality.

Our Story

Homelessness in Silicon Valley is a growing crisis, even though it's one of the wealthiest areas in the world. The high cost of housing and the lack of affordable options have left many families, children, and young people struggling to find a stable place to live. As a result, many are forced to live in cars, motels, shelters, or even on the streets, facing serious challenges every day.

Homelessness has a particularly heavy impact on young people, making them more vulnerable to mental health issues, substance abuse, and falling behind in school. Homeless children often struggle with developmental delays, miss school frequently, and face lower academic achievement, which can limit their future opportunities. By offering regular STEM lessons at transitional homes, we aim to build strong connections with these kids and inspire them to pursue educational opportunities, giving them hope for a better future.
