Hope is a bridge to the future.

Help us create hope through learning.

Join us Thursday June 1, 2023 at Carnegie Science Center for our annual Champions for Children Gala!

We are proud to have been selected as a Good Neighbor on The Kelly Clarkson Show!

After viewing a broadcast of our Hope Through Learning Awards event, the producers of the Kelly Clarkson Show fell in love with Homeless Children’s Education Fund and our mission.

It was truly an opportunity of a lifetime as now America will learn about our wonderful organization and the extraordinary work everyone does for the homeless youth in our region.
