About CEP

## Organization Overview CEP—Community Education Partnerships—is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing learning opportunities and enhancing academic achievement for students experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity in the San Francisco Bay Area[1]. Founded in 2011 by Erica Mohan, CEP was inspired by the urgent need to address educational gaps for homeless youth, a group often overlooked by traditional support systems[1].

Volunteers and staff work closely with schools and community partners to identify at-risk youth and deliver tailored interventions that help them stay engaged and succeed academically. CEP’s services are available in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, Richmond, and Alameda, reflecting both the severity of the housing crisis in the region and the organization’s commitment to local impact[1]. ## History and Growth The organization’s roots trace back to 2008, when founder Erica Mohan began volunteering with School on Wheels in Los Angeles, an established tutor program for homeless students[1].
