I get to hang out with some of the smartest, funniest, and most vibrant kiddos I’ve ever met. Despite the challenges their families may be facing, they are able to have so much fun and are just allowed to be their whole authentic selves. It is such a powerful thing to be a part of. When they reflect on this period in their lives, I know that they will have positive memories of time spent with Miss Emily, and Miss Jana, and maybe even with Miss Thelma with the pink hair. The Children’s Learning Center and the core programming that CEP offers is such an important and worthwhile cause.

Sponsor a Year of Tutoring for an Unhoused Student

There are nearly 300,000 unstably housed youth in California. For students experiencing homelessness, high school graduation rates significantly lag behind their housed peers. 

Community Education Partnerships works directly to combat this with their One-on-One Tutoring program, their Early Literacy Campaign, and their Educational Supplies program. 

A $1,000 donation funds one year of one-on-one tutoring for a student experiencing housing instability. This support directly impacts Community Education Partnerships’ core program, providing personalized academic help that improves skills and builds confidence.
