Our mission is to elevate student success by delivering educational programs and solutions that promote equitable access to quality public education in Stamford.
OUR VISION
We envision a community in which every student is prepared and inspired to thrive.
WHAT WE DO
SPEF delivers programs and solutions that help students in Stamford Public Schools graduate high school prepared and inspired to thrive, whether their path is college, vocational training, the military, or entering the workforce. In pursuit of this mission, SPEF is proud to deliver the following programs and resources that prepare and inspire Stamford’s students and families to thrive:
Middle School and High School Mentoring
Provides students needing additional support with a caring adult to set goals, improve academic standing, and become engaged in positive after-school activities.
Elementary School Mentoring
Uses real-life lessons about civic responsibility to educate students on the importance of giving back to their community.
High School Math Tutoring
Provides increased tutoring support for 9th grade students in Integrated Math, with the goal of raising student achievement, improving executive functioning skills, and increasing parental connectedness.
Kindergarten Readiness
Summer Start is a five-week “Kindergarten Prep” program for children entering the Stamford Public Schools without having had a complete pre-school experience.
Parent Leadership
Enables parents and community members to become the next generation’s leading advocates and change agents.
Literacy Support
Books Across Stamford provides students with free, new books to build their home libraries.
MIDDLE SCHOOL MENTORING PROGRAM
For more than a decade, SPEF’s nationally recognized Middle School Mentoring Program has provided students with resources and guidance that help them succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. We partner with college, community, and corporate volunteers to give students weekly one-on-one and group mentoring sessions with trained volunteers.
