• Your tax-deductible gift provides Massachusetts students facing homelessness with the tools they need to stay focused on school during these unprecedented times of uncertainty.  We invite you to join us as we navigate the unique challenges our students face
  amidst COVID-19 and the academic, social and emotional obstacles of remote learning. 
  
  Our programs: 
  Trained volunteers serve as personal tutors for students living in family shelters and transitional housing.  
  Volunteer mentors help high school and college students with post-secondary educational plans via our Bridge Program. 
  Children facing homelessness receive customized, grade-level backpacks, books and supplies.   
  
  Last year we paired more than 250 students in grades K - 12 with a personal tutor, mentored 56 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 rising educational needs of these deserving children and youth. 
  
  Educate kids.  End Homelessness. One Child at a Time.
  
  
  
  

"I need to help with this problem."

Maya Cohen learned about homelessness in a social studies class at Sharon Middle School.  The thought of peers facing homelessness struck a chord and she wanted to help. In lieu of gifts for her spring Bat Mitzvah, Maya asked for donations and school supplies.  She then contacted her local Office Depot and asked if she could host a table outside the building to further promote her cause.   Maya raised more than $1,000, collected $850 worth of new backpacks and supplies - and came to our office to count, sort and inventory her collection.  When asked what motivated her, Maya responded with profound simplicity, "I need to help with this problem." 

Thanks to Maya and our community of tutors, mentors, donors and a new generation of "Kids Helping Kids," we are collectively making a difference, one child at a time.  To learn how you can become involved, click here .
