About Sprouts Academics

Our Mission

Sprouts Academics aims to strengthen communities by offering free, student-led academic classes for children in need. We give high school students the opportunity to teach, mentor, and make a meaningful impact through education.

Our Story

Founded originally as CodeSprouts in Febuary 2025 by Victor Yeung, Abhiram Gunda, Rafael Montes Barerra, and Ronav Kataria, CodeSprouts served the Forest Park PTA with high-quality classes. Then, in March 2025, the organization entered a period of rapid expansion with the unoffical merger with parts of another nonprofit organization, Finance For the Future, now Finance Sprouts. This merger led to the formation of modern-day Sprouts Academics. The period of expansion following the merger resulted in the team growing to 90, passionate individuals. From the formation of the organization to the present day, Sprouts Academics has been dedicated to serving the community with free, high-quality education.

About Us

Sprouts Academics is a nonprofit organization based in the San Franciso Bay area run by high-schoolers. We strive to provide youth with free, high-quality education. We also strive to give our staff an opportunity to help their communities.
