Get Involved! Make a difference by helping these women and children rebuild their lives in San Diego. Become a volunteer tutor or mentor!

Are you creative? Do you have any special talents? Here are a few ways to brighten our children's day:

  • Host a puppet show.
  • Plan a special art activity.
  • Read your favorite book!

Many of our mothers are attending school and learning to read for the first time in their lives. At least 25% of our students start by learning to hold a pencil! As you can imagine, this requires intensive instruction and attention. Help accelerate our womenâs progress by becoming a volunteer tutor.

Donate a bus pass. A $60 donation will allow a mother and child to attend 48 hours of classes. A bus pass makes the difference between LEARNING and being ISOLATED at home.

Make a cash donation.100% of your contributions will be spent on direct services for our mothers and children!
