"As someone interested in the theory and policy of education, I found tutoring with HOPES a great opportunity for firsthand experience teaching and working with children. But beyond that, I relished the personal connection and friendship that developed between me and the student.  What made me look forward to each tutoring session was that the student was looking forward to it as well."

“It has changed my idea of what it means to homeless in America. It shattered any stereotypes I might have had about the "typical homeless person".

-Erika

“Made me more emphathetic toward completely innocent and vulnerable children who are caught up in the whole mess and have their futures compromised.”
