1 in every 20 children
in California does not have a home
Over the past 27 years, we have served more than 50,000 students!
Every one of these kids has a story, a past, and a future.
All have one thing in common—a volunteer tutor whose precious time and caring helped them learn and encouraged them to dream.
We train and match volunteers with our students and provide:
- One-on-one weekly tutoring
- School supplies
- Assistance in entering school
- Scholarships
- Parental support
- A learning center on Skid Row
