Vancouver Homework Club Society hasn't added a story.
Homework Club runs at Britannia Secondary three nights each week
(Monday, Tuesday & Thursday) from 3:00-6:30. Homework Club
participants arrive on an as needed basis to work with tutors as with
friends, usually in small groups, to complete class projects and
assignments or to study for exams. The program strives to create an
environment that is warm and welcoming, with an emphasis on belonging
and community.
We provide hot meals and snacks, as well as sessions on
Provincial Exam prep and how to access scholarships. Additionally, we
award bursaries each year to students attending post-secondary school
after graduation. The tutors, for the most part university students
from University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University,
provide expert tutoring in their subject areas and also serve as
mentors to the Homework Club students.
Homework Club is ultimately a resource centre for students. In
addition to our amazing people, we also provide access to computers,
internet, free printing, school supplies, calculators, paints and
presentation supplies for school projects, backpacks, textbooks and
just about anything else students might need to be successful at
school. Fresh fruit is available every night, along with water and
juice, while on Tuesday and Thursday nights we provide hot, nutritious
one-dish meals. We have an incentive program for regular attendance
where students earn gift certificates to local coffee shops, where
they can purchase lunch and snacks. As food security is a growing
challenge in our neighborhood, this supply is accessed all too often.

This project is one of many received by The Vancouver Sun Children's Fund for our 2020/21 Adopt-a-School campaign.
Since the day our first Adopt-a-School news story was published in the fall of 2011, generous Vancouver Sun readers have helped us raise more than $6 million to improve the lives of B.C.’s neediest school children.
The money you donate helps teachers and school staff who are dealing with children suffering from the effects of poverty and enables them to provide breakfast or lunch, food at weekends, other necessities (like warm clothing) and educational experiences. We are grateful for your support, and for the opportunity to make a difference.
(100 per cent of donated funds are used for grants. Admin & expenses are either supported by the Vancouver Sun newspaper or paid out of interest on investments.)
