The Emily Shane Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering middle school students who are at risk of falling through the cracks. Founded in memory of 13-year-old Emily Shane, the foundation transforms a tragic loss into a powerful purpose: ensuring that every child receives the support they need to succeed.
Through its unique SEA (Successful Educational Achievement) Program, the foundation provides intensive, one-on-one academic mentorship and social-emotional support to "mainstream" students who struggle but do not qualify for extra help. By pairing these students with trained mentors, the foundation fosters both academic improvement and the personal confidence needed to thrive in high school and beyond.
Your Donation Directly Supports:
- One-on-One Mentorship: Providing weekly, personalized tutoring for students in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.
- Closing the Gap: Reaching the "middle" students who often lack access to specialized academic resources.
- Social-Emotional Growth: Building resilience and life skills through the foundation's "Pass it Forward" philosophy of kindness.
Together with Malibu Moves, we are committed to ensuring that no student is left behind. Your support creates a ripple effect of positive change, one student at a time.
