Why Give to Yu Ming

Our consistently strong academic results show how we are closing the opportunity gap and creating high-quality, high-impact educational options for all our students regardless of background.

Through dual language immersion, academic excellence, personalized learning and integrated social emotional learning, Yu Ming is preparing all our students to be bilingual and bicultural global leaders who use their education to make a positive difference in the world.

Volunteer – Gifts of Time and Talent

Volunteer involvement in any school can make the difference between a good school and a great school. At Yu Ming, there are many ways that family and community members can participate and contribute, regardless of availability, skills or interests. We have opportunities to volunteer in school and outside of school, including hands-on volunteering in classrooms, organizing events, and sharing a personal passion or professional expertise with students and the school.
