The Saturday Morning Homework Club began as a way to for children in Vancouver to get help with their homework. It started in September 2011, and has grown from a few children per week to a steady, consistent group. We have college and university educated volunteers that have been through the BC Education System and know the challenges that today’s children face. However, the purpose of the Homework Club goes beyond getting better grades at school. The following is a partial list of our goals: To instill the importance of education in children To provide a consistent time and place where children can focus on their school work To provide children help with homework To provide mentorship and guidance to children who face challenges growing up in the Lower Mainland To develop confidence in children so that they can face any issues they encounter To develop a sense of community and awareness in children To provide an atmosphere where children can become positive and social being To provide a place where children can develop friendships To provide students with mentors that look like them and have strong affiliations with community, sharing, and ethics
