Boost Homework Help

About the Boost Homework Help Program

During the school year, the Boost Homework Help Program helps students from low-income families with homework. (Medi-cal card is required per child) Volunteers are connected with a student and meet once a week for 8 weeks for our fall and winter sessions. We serve students from 1st grade to 5th grade.

It was the heart of a retired teacher Mary who wanted to help students with their homework and the Boost program vision was born. It is now one of our most successful programs throughout the school season.

If your child needs help with their homework and would like to join our Boost program, please visit our office or call. We’d be happy to help.

Thank you to our volunteers!

As always, this incredibly successful, volunteer-run program has seen spectacular volunteers working with children from our wonderful families and, time and time again, we hear such great reports from parents and volunteers about how beneficial, fun and necessary this program is. Thanks to all the faithful volunteers and our partners Centerville Presbyterian Church and Chick-Fil-A, for their incredible help during the school year.
