THE HOMEWORK CLUB

Homework Clubs are an easy way to increase community engagement in promoting the social, emotional and academic growth of children, opening doors to a brighter future for our kiwi kids.

​

It's a simple idea. We partner firms, businesses or organisations with local low decile primary schools.  The school makes available classroom or library space for students to gather after school, and a group of volunteers spend an hour a week helping those kids with whatever the school community believes will best support the learning experience of the students.

For some schools it's all about homework, for others it could be a focus on reading, or verbal skills or development focused boardgames.   

​

But what it means is students get to spend some time with different adults who want to support their learning journey, while also encouraging them to think broadly about education and job possibilities. 

​

For volunteers, they get to learn too from the students. They're exposed to new ideas and gain insights into the students’ communities, cultures and potential.
