CEP students celebrated Black History Month in February. At our CLCs and group program sites, the students voted on who to study. For each person they studied, there was a lesson, a short film, a read-aloud, and a coloring page.

CEP celebrates the amazing women who show up day after day to ensure our students are supported and inspired! To our tutors, parents and guardians, community partners, and colleagues, you inspire all of our students to dream big and change the world.

Thank you to our students, families, and community partners who attended the CEP and WCCUSD Unaccompanied Youth Resource Fair! Attendees were connected to school and community resources and provided with clothing, hygiene kits, school supplies, books, snacks, and dinner!

A special thank you to our community resource providers who supported the event:

At a time when basic human rights like equitable access to education are coming under attack, it’s more important than ever to remember that Black history is American history. Commit to learning the full history of our community and keep the narrative accurate.

For many of the children CEP serves, the challenges of housing instability are compounded by systemic inequities and escalating social and political pressures. Recent Executive Orders and policy changes further threaten their education, safety and stability, deepening the obstacles they face. That is why we remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that vulnerable children across the Bay Area have the support they need to thrive.

Join us today and stand up for our students and their families. All students belong! All students are welcome!
