The San Francisco Education Fund recruits, trains and places volunteers to work in all grade levels, subjects and San Francisco public schools. Any public school staff person is invited to request a volunteer*.
Volunteers can tutor K-12 students one-on-one or in small groups to build math, reading, science or other academic skills. Volunteers can also lead Mindfulness lessons, become a student’s mentor, help with classroom organization and other projects, provide homework help during afterschool programs or work with students on extracurricular activities, such as music and art.
If you know someone who is interested in volunteering, the San Francisco Education Fund can help individuals fulfill the San Francisco Unified School District’s clearance requirements so they can start volunteering in your classroom.

The Ed Fund partners with Room to Breathe to provide Educator Well-Being Stipends to educators at several SFUSD schools. This stipend is designed to empower educators to attend to their own personal well-being so that they are best positioned to model well-being for young people and positively contribute to a culture of well-being within the school.
The educator wellbeing stipend provides every interested adult on campus (both certificated and classified staff) a stipend to use toward a well-being practice of their choice for the duration of one school year.
Note: The stipend is evenly split between two semesters with an opportunity to select a new well-being program/practice at the beginning of each semester.
The following SFUSD schools are eligible for R2B educator stipends:
We are eager to partner with you to identify students from your school who would benefit most from this scholarship, which is renewable for up to four years.

Check to see if your school is paired with a corporate partner.
