Our mission for the Educational Outreach Program is to help homeless children use education to break the cycle of poverty by providing essential educational supports. Our primary objective is to remove educational barriers that prevent homeless children from having a successful school experience.

   EOP identified and assisted 1,567 students during 2008-2009. This is a 20% increase from the 07/08 school year.

We focus on two main areas: School Readiness and Student Success

We may be able to assist with:

  • transportation
  • free lunch
  • backpack/school supplies
  • clothing
  • resource referrals
  • and other needs

  

 

Thanks to all that attended the Great Harvest Bread Fundraiser for EOP students on October 17th!  It was a great success!!  We thank Great Harvest for all of their continued dedication to DPS Homeless Services.  Be sure to stop by their location to get some amazing goodies:  www.greatharvestdenver.com
