Give Back to GEAR UP

Long Beach GEAR UP partnerships are critical to the management and supervision of the project. Representatives from across the K16 education pipeline, along with community organizations and corporations come together to expand educational and career opportunities for students from low-income families or schools with low college participation rates.

Donors play an important role when providing students scholarships, showcase events, career readiness programming, college tours, and much needed learning materials and supplies.  

We invite you to make a lasting difference by contributing at one of the following levels or establishing a recurring gift in support of our mission.
