Run an After School Homework Club for Kids
Running an after school homework help program for students is an amazing initiative to support young students to grasp a better understanding for their courses and improve their academic grades. Help increase students' knowledge and save money for their families.
How might this help your community?
This project can be of great support for low income families who are unable to afford expensive tutoring services for their kid(s).
Some students are introverted and can be shy or embarrassed to ask for help if their classmates are around. These students can have another chance to ask these questions with their tutor and gradually improve their confidence.
You and other volunteers can help ensure that the students you will helping can better understand and apply the lessons they learned from school.
TIPS FOR WHEN & WHERE
Every Wednesday after school
In a vacant classroom
Suggested Action Plan
Reach out to trusted friends if they are interested in volunteering to tutor.
Consider how many students are you willing to accept for the program.
Create a Google Form for students to register their information and subjects concerns.
Contact local schools if they would be interested in this program. Ask school staff and have the teachers to share the form with their class.
Reach out to youth who registered to confirm the details.
Purchase snacks at the local grocery store every Wednesday.
