Summer Programs help Corvallis School District students stay on track to graduate. Since 2013, these programs have helped increase our district's graduation rate by nearly 20%—proof that the right support can make a lasting difference.

We're so close to fully funding this year's Summer Programs, but we still need your help to cross the finish line. We're less than $14,000 away from our $150,000 goal, and every gift brings us one step closer.

Help us bridge the gap and invest in the success of local students. Together, we can make sure every student has the opportunity to reach graduation day.
