Help Our Cause

The impact of COVID-19 proves that Computer Literacy and access to the Internet or public WIFI is a must for homeless and low-income students in today's world. 

Computer Literacy is also a must in today's world, and computer education will be offered to all. Low-income students living in under served communities are less likely to have an opportunity to do their schoolwork, or homework using today's technology. 

Our tutoring programs gives underserved students access to technology that helps facilitate students engagement with standards-based curriculum and instructional materials allowing students to develop 21st century competence. The tutoring process is simple and more effective for the student because we bring together all those who are involved in the students learning. Students are eligible for participation when the teacher identifies them as a struggling learner (Reading and Math) and if their test scores are very low. Reading placement tests determine the level at which each student is placed; once placed at a particular level the student will began. We consult with teachers, staff, and parents to determine the root cause of the students disconnect with a particular subject, for example we do in class observations, review IEP’s, and will go so far as to make the subject interesting to the student.
Additionally, our tutoring services provide a consistent, nurturing environment with an educated adult role model. Students affected by poverty often lack stable homes. Our tutoring centers provide a safe learning space.
Underserved, low-income students need tutoring more than any other population, and will benefit from tutoring immensely. With tutoring, they have the opportunity to make enormous strides while compensating for their shortcomings. Even the worst behaved students in a classroom tend to function well one-on-one or in small groups, since acting out is often a defense designed to hide academic weakness.

There is already a literacy crisis in America, and without intervention homeless and low-income students will continues to struggle. The solution requires us to take action and bring public awareness.
It is crucial that we identify and meet the needs of homeless and low-income students. 

The recent closure of schools, shelter in place and social distancing directives have made it harder for Teachers, school staff and our volunteers to protect the health and safety of these students.

The current COVID-19 pandemic creates even deeper ramifications for this vulnerable population. As we all know, this devastating experience will impact homeless, low-income and poor student’s health, education, and career opportunities, especially minorities, which will affect the stability of our communities and the cost of human services for decades. Without intervention these students will fall further and further behind or even dropout of school if they haven't already. We are printing resource packages that contain math skills, reading, and reading comprehension resources; these resources are made in collaboration with Teachers, Para-educators and Love My Life, Inc. volunteers.
