Congratulations to @rimafakih and @theresaalhayek on the release of your new book, Brave Buzzy Bee ?? Our students at the Skid Row Learning Center had the opportunity to meet the co-authors, read the book together, and learn that the main character was inspired by each and every one of them. What a wonderful book and an amazing experience for our students. Thank you Rima and Theresa!

Thank you, ZS associates! Members of "ZS Cares" recently held a backpack drive and donated items worth $3000! The drive was organized by one of our very own wonderful volunteers.

?? What would you do if you could make the world a better place by changing one thing??? Here are just some of the answers given by students at our Skid Row Learning Center: "If I could make the world a better place by changing one thing, I want to build more homes and jobs for many families." "If I could make the world a better place by changing one thing, I would make new resources for low-income families all over the world. Have families stay safe and be able to work." "If I could make the world a better place by changing one thing, it would be cleaning the streets, and having homes." Their answers and amazing artwork were recently featured in a gallery exhibit titled "Faces of Downtown" Our students are our inspiration. Joins us today in helping them become the changemakers of the future. https://lnkd.in/gTGeg6ds

?? At the core of our journey is our visionary founder, Agnes Stevens, whose passion and dedication sparked the formation of School on Wheels in 1993. What began as a one-woman operation has blossomed into a nationally recognized organization, touching the lives of thousands of students experiencing homelessness annually. Agnes' courageous spirit and unwavering commitment will continue to be an inspiration to us all. ?? #womenshistorymonth #inspiration #founder

In partnership with Majestic Art Gallery, our students’ artwork was featured in a downtown gallery exhibit last week. This was an amazing and encouraging experience for our talented students. Each painting was paired with answers to questions about what inspires them. Our students are incredible, and we will be sharing more of their work in the days to come. ?? Their art is also be up for sale online, and any funds from purchases will be deposited into that student’s savings fund. There are only a few masterpieces left! https://lnkd.in/gAthD8ng

In support of the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, we had many wonderful companies step up to support our students by providing air purifiers to distribute to our shelters and learning centers.

Coming together truly makes a difference. #LAfires #community #wildfirerelief #LAWildfires #airquality
