Your tax-deductible gift provides children and youth facing homelessness with the tools they need to stay focused on school during times of disruption and uncertainty. Your support is especially needed as we navigate the impact and unique challenges our students face amidst COVID-19 and the array of learning models set to begin this fall.  

Our programs: Trained volunteers serve as personal tutors for hundreds of students living in family shelters. We also offer tutoring for students living in transitional housing.  Volunteer mentors help high school and college students with post-secondary educational plans through our Bridge Program. Children facing homelessness throughout the state 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 educational needs of 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 .
