Hello, my name is Dylan Olson, and I’m a dedicated student teacher working toward my full teaching credential in the Bay Area. After years of preparation and a lifelong passion for education, I’m now in the classroom every day, helping shape the next generation of students in social studies and civics.

Like many educators just starting out, I’m facing significant financial challenges. Recent unexpected hardships have put me at serious risk of eviction from my apartment — the only stable home I have while completing my credential and building my teaching career. Losing my housing would make it nearly impossible to continue student teaching, attending required classes, and fulfilling my commitments to my students and school.

I’m humbly asking for your support to raise $5,000. This amount will help me cover past-due rent, bring my account current, and provide a small buffer to stay securely housed through the remainder of my program. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a direct difference in keeping me on track to become a fully credentialed teacher serving Bay Area schools.

Teaching is more than a job to me — it’s a calling. With your help, I can focus on my students instead of worrying about losing my home.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my story and for any support you can offer. Together, we can ensure one more passionate educator stays in the classroom where they belong.

With gratitude,

Dylan Olson
