Back to School: Learning Without Limits

When a child experiences homelessness, their education often times becomes a last priority.

At ACCESS, we advocate for education; because every child deserves the chance to learn and grow regardless of their circumstances.

This campaign ensures that every child experiencing homelessness overcomes barriers to their education and has the tools to succeed this school year.

Remove the Barriers.

Let Kids Be Kids.

When you invest in a child’s education, like Daniel’s, you are investing in a brighter future.

Please consider helping to ensure that children in your community do not have to worry about having safe places to study, transportation to school, or even a packed nutritious lunch.

Children who experience homelessness do not have access to the same stability that every child needs to succeed in school.

You can be the reason they do.
