Homework Clubs

These Afterschool programs are designed to provide elementary school students with homework assistance combined with structured teambuilding activities to promote social skill development.

The program is offered in 8 week cycles at varying school locations. There is a $20.00 fee. Scholarships are given for those who are eligible. To maintain a small group atmosphere, participation is limited. Calling 345-7498 for a current schedule.

Peer to Peer Mentoring Program

This program pairs up third and fourth grade students at Burr Elementary School with positive role models from the High School. The high school students travel once a week during their lunch activity period to spend time with the younger students in a mentoring role. By participating in both large group and one on one activities, the students ultimately create meaningful relationships. Each age group benefits from the experience.

High School mentors are required to apply for the program, submit letters of reference and participate in a training program prior to their inclusion in the program. Participants will earn community service hours. Prospective mentors should call 345-7498 or email Cheryl@hkyfs.org to apply for this program.

Elementary students are welcome to join by parent and/or teacher request. A permission slip must be completed by a parent or guardian and submitted to Youth and Family Services. Call 345-7498 or email Ann@hkyfs.org for more information or to obtain a permission slip.
