Your tax-deductible gift to our Spring Annual Appeal will ensure more students facing homelessness in the Commonwealth receive the support they need to stay focused on school.  We are grateful for the hundreds of trained volunteers like Betsy, who serve as a personal coach and tutor for students like Sulexy.  Your gift also enables SOWMA to help high school students navigate college applications and make post-secondary plans.  During this 2018-2019 academic year alone, we supported 57 college students in our mentor program, provided more than 5,000 students from K - college with state-of-the-art customized backpacks - and tutored more than 200 children facing homelessness.  Consider a Tribute in the name of a loved one, company or occasion to celebrate the gift of education for someone in need.  Together we can empower children and youth through caring individual tutoring, high school and college mentoring and by providing the tools they need to succeed in school.  Thank you for your confidence in our mission and students. 

Educate kids.  End Homelessness. 

Christina was the first in her family to attend college and credits her success to David Ness, her longtime SOWMA tutor and mentor. David kept Christina focused on her studies throughout middle and high school despite the disruption and uncertainty of homelessness. Today Christina is a confident college student who embraces academic challenges using the discipline and tools she learned from David. "If I didn't recall all of the principles of chemistry," said David at our recent gala, "I'd ask her explain the assignment to me so I knew at least she was on track," he laughed. David began this academic year circling back to where he started, tutoring another student facing homelessness. This time when the chemistry assignments arise, he'll remember the lessons he learned from Christina.
