Fund to support programming and services for disadvantaged youth in Silicon Valley
San Jose, California. , 2 May 2024 , prlog – The Boys & Girls Club of Silicon Valley (BGCSV), an 80-year-old leading youth development organization in Silicon Valley, has been awarded a generous $10,000 grant from the 1% for Good Charitable Foundation (https://www.sereno). com/
“This is what a community building looks like,” said Steve Wymer, president and CEO of BGCSV. “Much of life in Silicon Valley revolves around the high price of housing and the broad real estate market and it is a difficult place for many people to buy a home. A Sereno sign in front of a home symbolizes more than a listing – This is a symbol of commitment to the community and we are grateful for how conscious Sereno is of her responsibility to the community by pledging to give a percentage of gross commission to community organizations, equal opportunity in Silicon Valley. Investing in young people who are underserved will help close the opportunity gap and we pledge to use this gift on behalf of the young people we serve. We are truly grateful.
Sereno’s 1% for Good Charitable Foundation actively makes grants to local organizations making positive change in our communities. Since 2012, he has contributed nearly $6 million dollars to more than 500 organizations.
BGCSV serves approximately 6,000 youth at more than 40 locations spanning from Redwood City in the north to Hollister in the south. The organization offers age-appropriate and diverse programs: education and career development, arts and cultural enrichment, technology, sports, health and recreation, character and leadership, and health and life skills. Teen participants receive the support they need to explore career opportunities and graduate from four-year colleges. They also develop social-emotional skills, access resources, and build support networks.
