All in-person CEP tutoring services have been suspended due to Covid - 19. Please click here for virtual resources to use with your student. 

CEP is currently accepting applications for new Virtual Tutors who are
California residents,
16 or older, and able to commit for at least six month of service. For more information or to apply, please visit our Volunteer Information page.
All California volunteers are welcome, however, CEP will prioritize volunteers who are local to the Bay Area
​and willing to transition to in-person tutoring when safe.

The Need

300K
There are nearly 300K unstably housed youth in California
Thousands of children in the greater Bay Area, through no fault of their own, are living in shelters, transitional homes, hotels and motels, cars, tents, and other places not designed for or suitable for housing families and children. Due primarily to a lack of educational opportunities and supports, these children are two times as likely as their housed peers to score poorly on standardized tests in math and reading, three times more likely to be placed in special education programs, four times more likely to drop out of school, and eight times more likely to repeat grades.[1] Not surprisingly, in California, the high school graduation rate for students experiencing homelessness lags far behind that of their housed peers, which has terrible consequences for the diploma-less students, the economy, and society at large. Indeed, we know that the lack of a high school diploma or the equivalent is the number one risk factor for young adult homelessness, increasing the likelihood of homelessness by 346%.[2]

Our Early Literacy Campaign includes a Summer Reading Club, Family Reading Nights, and targeted literacy support for our students. 
Raise Awareness
We raise awareness about and advocate for youths experiencing housing instability and their educational rights wherever we can - with educators, politicians, the media, funders, local communities, and universities.
