Green Silicon Valley

We bring free build days to schools the labs never reached, then fund the students who keep building. A 501(c)(3) run by teenagers.

Join the team

Students run this. Come run part of it.

GSV is built and operated by high schoolers. We always want people to build the curriculum, teach it, design, fundraise, or run outreach. Freshmen and 8th-graders especially: we want you early, because every seat needs a bench.

Where you fit

Pick the one you’d run, not the one that sounds good.

Curriculum
Write and test the build projects students actually make. If you like figuring out how to teach a hard thing simply, this is it.
Teaching
Run the live build days over video. You teach a couple of steps ahead of your students and you prep before each session.
Design
The site, the decks, the materials a teacher sees first. We care how this looks because it is the org.
Fundraising
Write the appeals, track the grants, talk to backers. Every dollar you raise puts kits in students’ hands.
International outreach
Find the schools, line up the languages, schedule across timezones. The program lives or dies on this.

Apply

Show us one thing you finished.

The strongest thing on a young résumé is something that works. A project, a club you ran, code you wrote, an event you pulled off.

  1. 1.You apply

    Tell us where you’d add the most and one real thing you’ve shipped. That matters more than a title.

  2. 2.A person reads it

    Not a queue. A member of the team reads every application and decides inside a week.

  3. 3.You get a seat

    Grade routes the track. Middle schoolers join on the member track and step into bigger roles in high school.

Curriculum, fundraising, design, building, international outreach. Wherever you'd add the most.

The strongest thing on a young résumé is something you finished: a project, a club you ran, code you wrote, an event you pulled off.

If a GSV member sent you, paste their member link or ID. Skip if not.

We read every application and a real person reaches out within a week. Younger applicants are welcome: middle schoolers join on the member track and step into bigger roles in high school.
