California School Administrators:

Help your staff engage students

We help teachers connect better with students through our DEI-focused SEL (social emotional learning) training. We engage students with our after-school programs that build growth and resilience in a supportive environment.

We work directly with K-12 school administrators

We provide professional development that goes beyond the basics of DEI, embedding Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into teaching practices. We also offer engaging after-school programs designed to boost student success in math, literacy, social emotional learning, and vocational training.

Our mission is simple: to equip your teachers with the tools to truly connect with students and give those students the support they need to thrive—during school hours and after. Ready to transform your school's impact? Contact us today to schedule an appointment and start making a difference for your students and educators!

Empower students to heal from trauma and reimagine their futures.

Our culturally inviting approach helps your staff foster deeper connections with students, promoting both individual and community healing. At Cultivating Hope, we integrate restorative justice, social-emotional learning, and community circles to build self-confidence, essential life skills, and a sense of community.

Testimonials

educator testimonial

Cultivating Hope's Math Football League has been a fantastic resource for high school students, offering personalized support and boosting confidence in math. Students improved their understanding of complex topics, strengthened their problem-solving skills, and improved their grades. Tutors were patient, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping students reach their full potential. The Math Football League is a great asset to both struggling math learners and those looking to excel in mathematics.

Student testimonial

My favorite part about the math football league is when we used to sit in a circle. We used to have a talking piece and we do a check-in... Coach would ask us how we felt and we'd say we felt good, we felt great... That was my favorite part...

... because I was struggling in math class...
going to the class it helped me in more than one way, it helped me with teamwork, communication, how to execute problems, and work with people that I've never met before.

parent testimonial

After he came home the second Saturday, I was like, this boy can really like... he didn't have a fear [of math]. I was like what is this? [referring to math problem] but he was like, "Oh we know how to do a few of them... That's what he taught us. We learned to trust him, you know. That's hard for parent to do..."

Mr Perkins Parent. Algebra Readiness - Math Football League
parent testimonial

Before the Math Football league, he was really shy, timid towards getting into problem solving. As he got into it, I watched his confidence level grow... I watched him work through problems instead of "Oh, I don't know that", he would actually say, "OK" and start breaking things down [math problems] ...
