Homework Club
One of our students practices her writing skills in our Homework Club.
Homework Club is a safe learning environment where students ages 6-12 receive homework help from staff and volunteers, play games, make friends, have snack and learn about life and God. We provide a safe and nurturing environment in which children are free to be kids. Academic support is key as are opportunities to learn more about each other, ourselves, God and His amazing love.
