Job description
Each day we help nearly 7,500 students develop the skills and tools they need to survive and thrive in a complex world, driven by knowledge and technology. The EastLake Educational Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 1995, which raises funds to support quality public school educational opportunities in the EastLake community of Chula Vista, California. Since our inception, the EEF has successfully brought together businesses, local residents, school staff and families in support of our mission of developing and enhancing technology in the classroom. We help close the funding gap for programs and equipment that are either poorly funded through traditional means, or have no existing funding base through the public-school districts.
Since our founding, the EEF has provided over $1.9 million in funding to equally benefit all 6 EastLake public schools (EastLake Elementary, Olympic View Elementary, Salt Creek Elementary, Arroyo Vista Charter School, EastLake Middle and EastLake High). We are proud that the EEF is recognized by the local school districts, parents, residents and businesses as not only an important financial supporter, but also a true partner in fostering community involvement in education.
