Changing Lives for Good
About us
Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County changes lives for good. We help people of all cultures and beliefs rise up out of poverty and overcome the barriers to self-sufficiency. Because most lives are a complex pattern of choices and circumstances, we take a holistic approach to helping people change their lives, taking into account the whole person as well as their family and life situations. We do this through a broad range of services, including job skills training and placement, older adult services, mental health and substance abuse counseling, housing assistance, financial education, immigration support, and refugee resettlement. We also provide educational programs that help young people develop into self-sufficient adults. Each year, we serve more than 120,000 people in need. Our compassion and commitment go beyond direct service and compel us to address the root causes of poverty. We launched Step Up Silicon Valley, a Movement to Cut Poverty, part of a nationwide effort started by Catholic Charities USA. We are working with a coalition of community-based organizations, interfaith allies, government representatives, and business leaders who are working to cut poverty in Santa Clara County. Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County has been serving individuals and families for 60+ years. While we are affiliated with the Diocese of San Jose, Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County is a separately incorporated nonprofit agency. We are self-funded and operate independently with a CEO, Board of Directors, and separate financial structure. We are part of the nation's largest social services network through our affiliation with Catholic Charities USA, which serves more than 9 million people each year.

Happy World Teacher’s Day! Today, we’re celebrating the incredible Erika Pham, who joined CORAL in January 2024 and has been a creative force ever since! She has an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts and was interested in developing an art curriculum for the After School Program, when she took up this position. She came up with a fabulous curriculum to deliver at school sites. Her Art Clubs were a hit at both elementary and middle school sites. Even now, when she is out at school sites, the students walk up to her and say they miss her and ask when she is coming back. She developed a personalized curriculum for each grade level, which got the students interested in all the activities she planned out for them. In addition to that, she is responsible for facilitating Lego Clubs at school sites. She has always been punctual and committed to help students engage in STEAM in all possible ways she can. Thank you, Erika, for making a difference and sharing your creative spark with the CORAL community! Learn more about CORAL program and jobs: https://lnkd.in/gTxiS9Hm #WorldTeachersDay

Happy World Teacher's Day! Today, we celebrate and shine a spotlight on an extraordinary volunteer and educator, John Sze, who has been a part of the CORAL STEAM family since 2015! He is the mastermind behind the LED Ornaments program. He created the curriculum and provides us with the supplies (circuit board and other supplies) required to run the program at the school sites. Almost all the schools in CORAL had participated in the program. He also helps put together the LED Ornaments on the trees at Christmas in the park. This year, he is developing a robotic program for our middle school sites that will give the students in CORAL an opportunity to work on designing an electric car with automated features at the end of the school year. In addition to that, he has always been an advisor for our Tech Challenge teams and has been mentoring our CASIs to train them as Team Advisors. Most of the CORAL Teams he led have won awards at the Tech Challenge competition. Thank you, John, for your unwavering dedication and inspiring leadership. You’re making a lasting impact on our students and community! Learn more about our CORAL program: https://lnkd.in/gTxiS9Hm #WorldTeachersDay #STEAMEducation #CORALCommunity
