Thank you for your generous support of Boys and Girls Clubs’ Homework Help programs.
Children and youth across Canada made their way back to school this week. To help children succeed in school, most Boys and Girls Clubs offer homework help in the after school timeframe. A great example is the Raising the Grade (RTG) program.
Raising The Grade supports at-risk youth 12 to 18 to explore, set, and achieve their academic and career goals by offering academic support, post-secondary and career discovery, and opportunities to use technology and quality online resources in RTG Tech Centres. Through hands-on learning opportunities, a specific focus on personal interests and goals, and supportive relationships with mentors and volunteers, young people who participate in RTG are supported to achieve:
• Graduation from high school
• Insight about their personal interests and how to pursue them
• Sufficient credits and grades for PSE, including apprenticeship, college or university
• Digital literacy skills
• Career aspirations that match their personal interests and goals
The program has been active for several years and we have received positive feedback from participants and their parents who have indicated that this program has been very helpful. Your generous support allows Clubs to continue providing this much-needed resource for the children and youth we serve.
THANK YOU!
