It is so hard to believe that the school year is more than halfway done and many students are looking forward to the upcoming March Break. Since the beginning of the school year, Boys and Girls Clubs across Canada have been busy supporting children and youth with homework help programs to ensure that they have a successful academic year. One of the pillars of our after school programs is to offer educational support to children and youth nationally so that we equip them with all the tools and resources that they need to succeed in school. Clubs hire qualified staff members and/or work with skilled volunteers to offer homework help for children and youth.
Boys and Girls Clubs in Canada cater to the local needs of the communities they serve. As an extension, the Homework help programs that are offered vary across the country. One of the most important national homework help program we offer is the Power Up! program. Through a combination of group work and one-on-one support, participants are able to access the support they need to enhance their academic potential. Kids, parents and staff continue to provide overwhelmingly positive feedback on the Power Up! program, noting that it has been a key element in children’s academic success.
Thank you for your continued support. You play an important role in enabling us to support Clubs in offering homework help programs to children and youth across Canada.
