About Us

About Us

Heads Up Buttercup is a nonprofit organization formed in 2020 by us, a group of 3 high school girls in Irvine. We realized that too much emphasis was placed on academics and not enough on the basic life skills that we need to be successful in the real world. We believe that there are more important things to learn and experience in life than just scores. After all, when in life are we going to need to quickly use the quadratic formula?

This group of high school students, through mentors, parents, and friends, learned that there is more to learn than just the core subjects and wanted to share these “basic life skills” with the rest of their peers to help prepare them for the real world. We offer a hands-on opportunity beyond the four walls of your classroom by inviting guest speakers who are carefully selected to speak about what every high school student should know before stepping foot onto a college campus.

Our Mission

Heads Up Buttercup is a youth-led organization that strives to better prepare ourselves and other high school students for the real world by equipping them with basic life skills and knowledge that aren’t always taught in school.
