Our mission is to support the academic, social and emotional growth of students impacted by homelessness.
We train volunteers to serve as personal tutors for students (K - high school) who live in family shelters and transitional housing. Volunteer mentors help high school and college-age students prepare for post-secondary education and careers via our Bridge Mentoring Program. Students facing homelessness receive customized backpacks and "Tools for School," including grade-level books, school supplies and notes of inspiration.
Last year we paired more than 250 students with a personal tutor, mentored 57 high school and college students and provided more than 6,000 students with customized backpacks and supplies.
The need for our services has grown exponentially since the onset of the pandemic, and we rely on volunteers and supporters like you to meet the educational needs of children and youth impacted by homelessness.
Educate kids. Empower Families . End Homelessness. One Child at a Time.
Tutoring Site Locations:
