Sunnyside Foundation advances an intergenerational culture of learning by investing in projects rooted in courage, community, equity and imagination in Tucson's southside.
We envision a community where every southside family has the capacity to cultivate their own learning opportunities throughout their lifetime. We focus on enriching our community by making resources year round that can bring knowledge, opportunities, and insight to those who volunteer, donate, or receive any type of assistance.

Our CommunityShare Teacher from Summit View, Ivette Sanchez had her 6th-grade class focus on Rain Water Harvesting. Their driving question for this project was, "How can we harvest rainwater in the Sonoran Desert?" Students focused on how much rainwater can be harvested and built structure models to harvest rainwater. This project helped the students implement problem-solving skills. They created a model of a water tank using scaled measurements where they used division and multiplication. CommunityShare Partners Josh Ruddick from University of Arizona Project Wet and Juaquin Murrieta, Cultural Ecologist, Watershed Management supported the students in their research.
