The Vallejo City Unified School District believes in and supports opportunities for all students, especially in their endeavors to achieve post-secondary success. We are happy to be partnering with UNCF (United Negro College Fund) in support of their fund-raising efforts as it aligns with VCUSD goal of ensuring every student has a clear attainable pathway to career and/or college success.

Your participation is vital to the future of these students. UNCF has made the dreams of attending college a reality for hundreds of thousands of deserving youths throughout their 71 year history. All this is made possible by the concern and generosity of people like you.
