About Us
Mission: Simply Savant is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that promotes educational equality and serves the youth by providing opportunities to acquire the skills for future success.
Simply Savant strives to serve the community and promote academic excellence by helping underprivileged children acquire the ability and the means to appreciate learning and was formed in 2008 by 8 high school students in Southern California. We now have over 30 members, over 20 alumni and two branches that direct separate projects, are still completely high school student run, and are partners with the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena.
Through educational programs, charity projects, and fundraising activities, we have provided methods for less fortunate students to develop skills and the knowledge that, we, ourselves have learned in school. Simply Savant encourages and promotes education with Camp Savant and leadership through seminars at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern California. In the past 5 years, we have published several books of curriculum and have built 20 libraries, collecting and donating over 10,000 books to various youth centers in Southern California (including Arcadia, San Marino, Rowland Heights, Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Diamond Bar).
We are able to publish manuals and provide Camp Savant to Boys & Girls Club members every year through fundraising efforts. We hold garage sales, car washes and bake sales, as well as hosting larger events that raise awareness for natural disaster aid. We have held talent shows with the Boys & Girls Club to aid Haiti, as well as a large benefit concert to raise awareness and funding for Japan.
