This year our annual conference will focus on the launch of PCF’s Online Learning Center. Scholars walk through this new customized curriculum designed to meet the challenges that are unique to first-generation college students.
We will continue to hold the Career Exploration Fair as part of the three-day conference in a virtual setting as it allows us to reach a broader spectrum of individuals from companies and industry sectors that are both in and outside the Bay Area.
The Peninsula College Fund puts the missing pieces together to help low-income, first-generation college students reach the college graduation finish line and position them for career success post-college.

PCF provides scholars with the tools to not only successfully navigate college, but to also launch careers that will ultimately lead to financial security.
Community volunteers play a key role in our scholars’ success. We offer one-time, short-term, and long-term volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
