Homeless Services (Project Teach)

Project Teach Helps Ensure Student Success

Project Teach promotes the educational success of children experiencing homelessness. The program:

• informs parents and the community of the education rights of children under the definition of homeless
• collaborates with school districts, shelters, and agencies
• connect children, youth, and their families staying in and/or attending school in Sacramento County to local education liaisons
• coordinates opportunities for agency collaboration
• provides professional development and referral to community resources
• supports school of origin, school transportation, and connection to early childhood education programs

Is your child missing school because…

• you move a lot?
• you live in a shelter or motel?
• you are on the street or homeless?
• you don't have a permanent address?

Project Teach, a program at the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE), can help! Free help to keep your child in school, plus connection to transportation assistance, school supplies, and more.
