Homeless Children's Education Fund

We believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and succeed—no matter where they sleep at night.

We partner with students, families, and schools to break down barriers and open doors to brighter futures, creating equity through education. Creating "HOPE THROUGH LEARNING" for children and youth experiencing homelessness.

"Found it!"

Over the past two weeks, that question echoed through four Teen CEO Prep Days as students, volunteers, and staff searched for the perfect fit before the start of summer internships.

There was a lot of laughter. A lot of encouragement. And more than a few moments in front of the mirror.

For many students experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness, preparing for work takes more than completing an application. It takes support.

Through Teen CEO, students receive paid work experiences, transportation support, workplace attire, food stipends, and career readiness training designed to help them succeed.

A special thank you to our volunteers, including members of Rotary Club of Pittsburgh, HCEF's newest workforce development partner, for helping our students prepare for the summer ahead.

This summer, nearly 100 students will step into new opportunities.

And they're looking ready for it.
