Who We Are

YES is the Ross Valley Public Schools Foundation serving the Ross Valley School District. Our Mission is to bring critical enrichment programs to our schools, providing equitable opportunities for our students while building community district wide.

YES is made up of parents, school administrators, business people, and active members of the community who, since the 1970’s, have raised millions of dollars to supplement our schools’ budgets. YES provides funding and advocacy for programs children need for an excellent education that sparks their potential. The YES Board believes that we have one chance with every child to get education right, and YES plays a critical role in supporting that goal for every child at Brookside, Hidden Valley, Manor, Wade Thomas and White Hill schools.
