If any children are peering over your shoulder as you read these lines, hide the next sentence from them. 


The evidence that homework aids student achievement is inconclusive (Center for Public Education, 2007). 


Yet, for many students, not completing homework on time, or completing it incorrectly, can leave them at a serious disadvantage as they try to progress successfully through school. It is also important to note that well-designed homework, instead of just “throwing worksheets at students,” is more likely to have merit and can be a positive connection between school and afterschool programs. Combining well-designed homework with other academic enrichment activities in afterschool can provide a well-rounded package of expanded learning opportunities that contribute to school success and positive youth development.


Homework has maintained a role as a traditional component of the education system over many generations, although it has not been totally proven to be effective as a tool for improving students’ learning. A battle waged in recent decades over the value of homework did not come to a definitive conclusion, leaving both proponents and opponents with research they can cite to support either side of the debate. 1  It appears that the presence of homework serves more to forestall a decline in performance (Morrison, Storino, Robertson, Weissglass, & Dondero, 2000) rather than to advance achievement; however, making homework completion just one element of a broader, comprehensive afterschool program enhances its value.


Despite the conflicted research base, school policies continue to mandate and teachers continue to assign homework. This reality is where afterschool programs must position themselves, regardless of any personal opinions on homework. The general charge of an afterschool program is to help students succeed in school; and if homework is required by the school, then many afterschool programs see homework support as part of that charge. Going a step further is to encourage staff buy-in and enthusiasm for a program culture that embraces homework time as useful and important, rather than a bore and a chore for all involved. 


This commitment to productive homework time can be bolstered by a program’s recognition that well-designed homework, as part of a broader afterschool initiative, not only can provide benefits to youth but also serve to reinforce some of the desired—and often required—yet hard-to-come-by program goals: (a) homework is a natural link between afterschool and school, (b) homework is a promising bridge between afterschool and families, (c) homework supports principles of youth development that are central to afterschool programs, and (d) homework help can be a hook to engage students in expanded learning and broader opportunities. 


Supporting the School Day and Connecting With Teachers


Homework serves as a natural point of connection between school-day staff and afterschool staff, whose roles are parallel yet often isolated. Many school-day teachers do not ask for help from afterschool, or even do not picture the potential for afterschool programming to aid in school-day goals. The practitioner who takes the first step to building relationships with school-day staff can demonstrate that program practices, such as homework support or tutoring, are working toward the same outcomes the school-day teachers hope to achieve. 


Once this common understanding has been reached, the relationship can be maintained through intentional and sustained communication. A regular schedule of check-ins via phone or e-mail or in person should be established. Tools such as a homework contract or a homework completion tracking document allow both sides to stay up-to-date without adding additional strain on job responsibilities. By using such tools and scheduling regular check-ins, afterschool staff can more readily ask school-day teachers for help with students’ more difficult assignments. In a time when 89% of students stress about homework (Met Life, 2007) this communication builds trust that makes students more confident in the program’s ability to be helpful and meet student needs. 


In rural Missouri, for example, the West Plains R-7 Before and After School Education program utilizes the regular school day homework planner to track student assignments and facilitate information sharing between afterschool staff and teachers. The planner includes space for both groups to sign and record relevant information each day. The program director also takes advantage of the school district’s data system to track student achievement, routinely meeting with teachers when students fall behind. This real-life example illustrates the kind of collaboration and mutual support that many afterschool programs have found to be a critical ingredient in boosting student achievement.


Opening up the avenues of communication between school and afterschool was the focus of a pilot project conducted by the University of Pittsburgh’s Office of Child Development during the 2010–2011 school year. This project, funded by the Heinz Endowments, was a partnership with Pittsburgh Public Schools and five local afterschool program providers. The partnership developed a set of communication strategies based on research that indicates that formal communication between teachers and afterschool providers supports quality homework time in the afterschool setting. 


Linking together on homework can even open the door to more substantive school-afterschool collaborations—one of the hallmarks of quality afterschool programs.


Easing the Pressure off Families


Students are not the only ones whose stress levels rise with homework; in today’s society, with more single parents and more dual-income families, the demands of home life leave little time for parents to offer homework help. Most parents want their children to do homework, and they see the importance of connecting with what their children are doing in school, but dinner time, chores, and leisure activities compete with homework time. An overload of homework also competes with sleep, which suffers as a result for students, not just their overtired parents (Dudley-Maring, 2003). 


By providing a structured and supportive space for homework time, afterschool programs can become an ally of busy parents. This program role again opens up an opportunity for communication, in this case with families. The tools mentioned above, such as the homework contract, can include families as participants, and informal conversations about homework can reassure parents that their children are completing assignments, indicate what is left to be done at home with bigger projects or additional assignments, and provide a sought-after link by proxy from the parent to the school day. Through this link, an afterschool program kindles homework’s role as a cornerstone to facilitating family-to-school communication as it contributes to parents’ understanding of what school expectations are and offers direction for how they can support their children (Perlman & Redding, 2011). 


For example, the East Allen Family Resource Center in New Haven, Indiana, requires all staff to speak with parents who come to pick up their students in the program and share information about their students’ progress with homework. “We really love the parents who choose to pick up their students from the school. It provides such a wonderful opportunity for parents to see what their child is doing, the environment that is provided for them, and have face-to-face time talking with staff,” notes the program director. To reach parents who may not be able to pick up their children in person, staff routinely make phone calls to students’ homes to discuss student achievement. 


In considering homework support as one component of a family involvement plan, an afterschool program is again making strides in the direction of program quality. 


Using Homework Time to Enhance Youth Development


Within the body of evidence that exists about homework, studies have shown that homework does play a role in building skills that equip young people to be more efficient and motivated students and prepare them for 21st century careers. By completing homework, students gain soft skills such as greater self-direction, self-discipline, organization, and more independent problem solving (Protheroe, 2009). 


In four charter high schools in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, such skills are coupled with homework time in deliberate lessons taught through “mini clinics” by Foundations, Inc.’s Prep Zone Plus afterschool program. Mini clinics are quick (lasting about 20 minutes), relevant, and engaging lessons that address a variety of study skills and life skills, from reading for meaning to budgeting to selecting colleges. For students who complete their homework early or need extra assistance with certain skills, the mini clinics provide a robust but palatable lesson. Students feel that they are getting more for their time and gaining skills that will be useful as they progress toward college, careers, and independent life. 


From its experience of operating homework-based afterschool programs over the past decade, Foundations has learned that a substantive way to improve homework time and other elements of afterschool is to listen to young people in afterschool settings and solicit and use feedback from school-day teachers, administrators, and parents. 


Going Beyond Homework


Quality afterschool programs, even homework-based ones, build out engaging learning opportunities that go beyond homework and offer value-added programming. Often after homework time ends, students attend their choice of enrichment clubs (for example, robotics, chess, art, music, cooking, service learning) to round out their afterschool experience. Research shows that afterschool programs with multifaceted programming are more likely to achieve the greatest academic gains (Pearson, Russell, & Reisner, 2007). 


Starting in 2011 and continuing through 2012, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Indianapolis has been working to go beyond homework and infuse academics into regular club programming. Through a grant from the Lilly Endowmentand a partnership with the Center for Afterschool and Expanded Learning at Foundations, Inc., Boys and Girls Clubs of Indianapolis has focused on creating a sustainable approach to academically-focused enrichment across seven sites. Staff receive ongoing training on topics such as planning hands-on activities linked to academic standards, project-based learning, STEM, and literacy in out-of-school time. In turn, staff are supported by leadership teams to implement meaningful enrichment activities into a range of existing programming, from art projects to basketball tournaments. 


The enrichment opportunities offered on top of homework support help students see how they can apply what they’re learning to real-life situations, build confidence through the mastery of new talents or completion of significant projects, and understand the connections between what they are doing now and their future possibilities. 


Conclusion and Recommendations


Relationships with the school day, connections to families, youth development practices, and using the attraction of completing homework to engage students in expanded learning and broader opportunities are enhanced with a positive approach to homework.


Below are a number of key recommendations to make homework a positive component of quality afterschool programs: 


• Set up systems for communication between afterschool instructors and school-day teachers that keep everyone up to date. Do the same with families.
• Create a physical environment that encourages homework completion—include quiet space with individual desks for assignments that require deep concentration, bigger tables for study groups to gather, couches for catching up on reading, and a resource area with reference materials.

• Build in opportunities for youth choice. Do some students study better when they can listen to music through headphones? Can students seek help from peers or adults? Can they choose which assignment they want to work on first?

• Keep homework time active, even when all the assignments are done. Offer short, self-directed activities such as brain teasers, board games, or activity centers that students can enjoy while still reinforcing some academic and 21st century skills . . . not just worksheets.

• Sometimes the best homework help is just directing students to the right resources they can employ to answer a tricky question. Refrain from giving them the answer; instead, empower them to find it on their own.

• Be aware of families’ homework preferences. Some families want their students to complete as much homework as possible in the afterschool program; others may want to work with their children on some assignments at home, too.

• Keep groups fluid, not static. Depending on the students, the assignments, and the day, change grouping arrangements frequently.
• Expand your own view of homework as a positive element of expanded learning. Remember that you are a role model, and students may adopt your attitude toward homework.


If afterschool programs—and their school partners—use these recommendations, dogs all across the country can experience fewer stomachaches from the proverbial eating of the homework.

Secrets of Successful Afterschool Programs

• Posted February 24, 2008
• By Amy Magin Wong

The United States is engaged in an ongoing, public discussion about how to best expand afterschool time and opportunities for children and youth, to support their learning and development across the day, throughout the year, and from kindergarten through high school. Debate continues about the range of academic, social, and other types of knowledge and skills that young people will need to succeed as workers, citizens, and family and community members in a global world.

To build the knowledge base, and to support efforts to improve quality in this field, the Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP) has developed and maintains an accessible national database of evaluations of hundreds of afterschool programs. In 2008, HFRP issued a review of these studies to address two fundamental questions: Does participation in after school programs make a difference, and if so, what conditions appear to be necessary to achieve positive results?

The verdict: a decade of research and evaluation studies confirms that children and youth who participate in afterschool programs can reap a host of positive benefits in a number of interrelated outcome areas — academic, social-emotional, prevention, and health and wellness. These are the skills that many suggest are necessary for youth to succeed in the 21st century global economy and world.

Academic performance

Participation in afterschool programs is influencing academic performance in a number of ways, including better attitudes toward school and higher educational aspirations; higher school attendance rates and lower tardiness rates; less disciplinary action, such as suspension; lower dropout rates; better performance in school, as measured by achievement test scores and grades; significant gains in academic achievement test scores; greater on-time promotion; improved homework completion; and deeper engagement in learning.

Dozens of studies of afterschool programs repeatedly underscore the powerful impact of supporting a range of positive learning outcomes, including academic achievement, by affording children and youth opportunities to practice new skills through hands-on, experiential learning in project-based after school programs. Another common thread among all of these studies is that successful programs focus not just on academic support, but also offer other enrichment activities. Thus, balancing academic support with a variety of structured, engaging, and enjoyable extracurricular activities appears to improve academic performance.

Social-emotional development

Many afterschool programs focus less on academics and more on improving young people’s social and developmental challenges, such as social skills, self-esteem and self-concept issues, initiative, and leadership skills. Research has shown that participation in these programs is associated with decreased behavioral problems, improved social and communication skills, better relationships with peers and teachers, increased self-confidence, self-esteem and self-efficiency, lower levels of depression and anxiety, development of initiative, and improved feelings and attitudes toward self and schoo l.

Crime, drug, and sex prevention

The hours from 3 to 6 p.m. are the peak time for juvenile crime and victimization, and the time period when teens ages 16-17 are most likely to be involved in a car crash. Also, youth left unsupervised for a certain number of hours per week are more likely to be sexually active, and at risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Participation in an afterschool programs gets children and youth off the streets, under supervision, and potentially prevents some risky behaviors. But beyond offering a safe haven, research and evaluation studies have demonstrated that the programs can have a positive effect on a range of prevention outcomes, such as avoidance of drug and alcohol use, decreases in delinquency and violent behavior, increased knowledge of safe sex, avoidance of sexual activity, and reduction in juvenile crime.

Promoting health and wellness

Afterschool programs can help tackle the growing problem of childhood obesity among our nation’s children and youth. The studies point to the programs’ potential power to promote the general health, fitness, and wellness of young people by keeping them active, fostering the importance of healthy behaviors, and providing healthy snacks. Students learn to make better food choices, and increase their physical activity, as well as their knowledge of nutrition and health practices. This leads to a reduction in body mass index, improved blood pressure, and improved body image.

Critical factors to achieve successful outcomes

Afterschool programs can promote positive learning and developmental outcomes, but some programs are not maximizing their potential. Research and evaluation point to three factors that are critical for creating constructive settings that can achieve these results with youth.

• Access to and sustained participation in programs Young people experience greater gains if they participate in afterschool programs with greater frequency and in a more sustained manner. They also benefit from programs tailored to their interests, needs, and schedules, as well as from those providing exposure to new ideas, challenges, and people.  
• Quality programming and staffing Developing programs intentionally, with a focus on promoting target outcomes through well-organized and engaging activities, is a critical component for achieving high quality afterschool settings. It entails having a clear vision and goals for the program from the start, as well as strong, directed leadership and sustained training and support to staff.

Also, youth benefit by developing positive relationships with the program’s staff, who in turn model good behavior, actively promote student mastery of skills or concepts in activities, listen attentively, provide feedback and guidance, and establish clear expectations for mature, respectful interactions with peers. Children who attend these well-supervised afterschool programs display better work habits, task persistence, social skills, pro-social behaviors, academic performance, and less aggressive behavior at the end of the school year.

• Strong partnerships High-quality programs effectively leverage partnerships with a variety of stakeholders, especially families, schools and communities.

Well-implemented, quality afterschool programs can support healthy learning and development when the key factors described above are addressed. They also demonstrate how complex it is to provide excellent, effective supports for youth and their families. As national conversations turn toward reframing the traditional school day and year, there remains much to be gleaned from 10 years of research and evaluation about what works to support student learning and success.

Brief Supporting Student Success Through Afterschool Programs

Introduction

Children spend an  average of 80%  of their days out of school, prompting policymakers to provide more expanded learning opportunities beyond regular school hours. Afterschool programs, also known as OST (Out-of-School Time) programs, have emerged as valuable resources that provide academic support, enrichment activities, workforce development opportunities, mentoring relationships and more. These programs, aim to enhance the overall development and well-being of children of all ages.  

What the Research Says

Research  consistently demonstrates that high-quality afterschool programs have a positive impact on students'  educational outcomes ,  school attendance  and  social and emotional learning . Recognizing the diverse needs of children and youth across different age groups, quality afterschool programs cater to their academic, psychological and physical activity requirements. Regular participation in these programs has been linked to  lower dropout rates  and a  narrowing of achievement gaps , particularly among low-income students. Additionally, for  older youth , afterschool programs can contribute to a reduction in  risky behaviors  and the development of  college  and  career-readiness skills . 

While afterschool programming has shown to improve social and emotional outcomes for students, research indicates certain  key elements  are needed for success. These include regular attendance, well-trained staff, and high-quality programming. The Afterschool Alliance has been at the forefront of documenting how children and youth spend their afterschool hours through their comprehensive national and state-specific reports since 2004. Their  2020 America After 3PM  report  revealed  a persistent demand for afterschool programs, with three children waiting for every one enrolled. This translates to approximately 25 million children being unable to access afterschool programs due to barriers such as program cost, availability, and transportation or accessibility challenges. 

Afterschool Data Project

Since 2014, with support from the Charles S. Mott Foundation, NCSL has worked with nearly all 50 states on data grant projects. NCSL has provided technical assistance to statewide afterschool networks as they collected new and compiled existing state-specific afterschool and summer learning data and shared this data with state legislators and other key stakeholders via written reports and data release events. Many grantees have gathered information on afterschool programs and gaps in access to afterschool, while others have conducted afterschool return on investment studies. Links to data reports or mapping tools, when applicable, are included below. To learn more about NCSL’s data mapping project, view the Afterschool Data Project webpage.

Funding for Afterschool

Afterschool activities provide valuable opportunities for children to explore their interests, develop skills and foster social connections outside of the traditional school setting. However,  not all parents  can easily afford the costs associated with these activities. Financial constraints can pose challenges for families, limiting their ability to enroll their children in extracurricular programs. From enrollment fees to transportation expenses or even the cost of necessary equipment or materials, the cumulative financial burden can become overwhelming. This situation can be particularly difficult for low-income families or those facing financial hardships. According to Afterschool Alliance’s America After 3PM data, for the first time in more than a decade, the number of children in an afterschool program has decreased because of barriers. 

Federal Funding

The  Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers  (21st CCLC) program stands as the sole dedicated federal funding source specifically designed for local afterschool, before-school, and summer learning programs. Currently, this program serves nearly 2 million youths through state education-awarded grants. However, research highlights various barriers that hinder access to afterschool programming, with funding being a major concern. Cost and limited availability continue to prevent many parents from enrolling their children in afterschool programs, with approximately  3 in 5 parents  citing these reasons. Despite the increased demand, federal funding for the 21st CCLC program has not kept pace with inflation, resulting in a  $10 million decrease  in inflation-adjusted terms since 2014. Consequently, the responsibility for funding such programs falls heavily on states, communities and families. While there is  strong bipartisan parent support  for public funding of afterschool programs, allocating additional funding can be challenging due to tight state budgets.

The Importance of After-School Homework Support

• October 13, 2023

Homework plays a crucial role in connecting what you learn in class to your own understanding, reinforcing the knowledge and skills you gain during school hours. But let’s be real, for many students, homework can be a real challenge that gets in the way of their educational journey. That’s why after-school support is becoming more and more important in helping them tackle these challenges effectively.

And here’s the thing: as education keeps evolving, so do the difficulties you face with homework. Balancing it with extracurricular activities, staying focused with all these digital distractions, or tackling those tough subjects – it can all feel like obstacles in your learning process. 

That’s where we must talk about the importance of after-school homework support since it plays a vital role in helping you overcome these challenges, deepening your understanding of the material, and ultimately fostering your academic growth.

So, let’s dive in and talk about why homework is so important in strengthening your learning. It’s a practice deeply ingrained in education, giving you the chance to practice and solidify what you’ve learned, setting you up for success in your studies.

The Benefits of After-School Homework Support

After-school homework support refers to programs or activities that help students with their academic assignments outside of regular school hours. Let’s take a closer look at why after-school homework support is beneficial:

• Reinforces classroom learning: These programs give students the chance to review and practice what they’ve learned in class. By going over concepts and practicing them, students can better understand and remember the material, which leads to improved academic performance.
• Provides a structured environment: After-school homework support usually offers a structured and organized setting for students to work on their assignments. This structure helps students develop good study habits and time management skills.
• Enhances understanding through individual attention: With smaller group sizes or one-on-one assistance, students receive more personalized attention from tutors or instructors. This personalized approach allows educators to address specific questions or challenges, helping students better understand the material.
• Reduces stress and pressure on students: Homework can sometimes be stressful, especially for students who struggle with certain subjects. After-school support creates a supportive environment where students can seek help and guidance, reducing the anxiety associated with challenging assignments.
• Boosts confidence and self-esteem: As students receive assistance and successfully complete their homework, their confidence and self-esteem improve. This sense of accomplishment motivates them to take on more challenging tasks and approach learning with a positive attitude.

In summary, after-school homework support offers several benefits, including reinforcing classroom learning, providing structure, offering individual attention, reducing stress, and boosting students’ confidence. These advantages contribute to a more productive and positive learning experience for students outside of regular school hours.

The Role of Technology in Homework Support

Technology has transformed homework support, offering a wide array of tools and resources to enhance students’ learning experiences. Here are different aspects of technology’s role in homework support:

• Online tutoring platforms connect students with experienced tutors, providing personalized guidance from the comfort of their homes.
• Educational apps and games make learning fun and interactive, reinforcing academic concepts and helping students grasp complex topics.
• Collaborative platforms enable group study, fostering discussions, information sharing, and problem-solving together.
• AI-driven learning aids adapt to different learning styles, provide instant feedback, and offer personalized study plans.

Therefore, technology revolutionizes modern homework support by bringing online tutoring, educational apps and games, collaborative platforms, and AI-driven learning aids to the table. These advancements empower students to access resources and assistance that improve their understanding of academic material, making learning more engaging and efficient.

Tips for Parents Seeking Homework Support for Their Children

When it comes to helping your child with homework, it’s super important to be proactive and supportive. Start by keeping an eye out for any signs that your child might be struggling or needing some help. You know, things like getting frustrated, avoiding homework, getting lower grades, or feeling confused about assignments. Recognizing these cues is the first step.

Next, if you’re thinking about getting some extra support like after-school programs or a tutor, it’s crucial to find the right fit. Look for programs or tutors that really match your child’s specific needs. Some kids might need general homework help, while others might need help in specific subjects or enrichment programs. Just make sure the tutors or instructors have the qualifications and experience to provide effective assistance.

At home, set up a structured homework routine. Make a habit of dedicating a consistent time each day for homework. Create a routine that minimizes distractions and helps your child focus. It’s also important to provide a quiet and well-lit study space for them. Teach them how to break tasks into smaller parts, prioritize assignments, and take short breaks to stay focused.

Lastly, make sure your home environment is conducive to studying. Keep all the necessary school supplies, reference materials, and a computer or device for online research within easy reach. Offer guidance and help when needed, but also encourage your child to work independently and develop their problem-solving skills.

By following these tips and actively being involved in your child’s homework support, you can help them do really well in school and develop strong study habits for the future. You got this!

The Downsides of Over-Reliance on Homework Support

When it comes to relying too much on homework support, there are a few downsides to consider. 

The importance of after-school homework support relies on knowing how to balance things out. Therefore, let us break it down for you:

The Risk of Becoming Too Dependent  

If students constantly turn to external help like parents or tutors for homework, there’s a chance they’ll rely on it too heavily. 

This can lead to a habit of always seeking immediate solutions instead of working through challenges on their own. Eventually, it can hinder their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as their ability to develop essential study habits.

The Importance of Embracing Struggles

Facing difficulties with homework or encountering academic challenges is a natural part of learning. It’s through these struggles that students build resilience, critical thinking, and the ability to overcome obstacles. 

When they’re always given answers or solutions, they miss out on the valuable experience of learning from mistakes and finding their own ways to solve problems.

Finding the Right Balance

The key is to strike a balance between providing support and encouraging independence. Homework support should be seen as a resource students can turn to when they genuinely need help, rather than a crutch they rely on for every task. 

Parents and educators should encourage students to try solving problems independently first and then seek assistance when necessary. This approach fosters independence and empowers students to become self-reliant learners.

So, while homework support is valuable, it’s important to be mindful of the potential downsides. Striking a balance between offering support and allowing children to navigate academic challenges on their own is crucial for their overall growth and development.

Real-life Success Stories

Faith-based programs prioritize creating an inclusive and respectful environment for every student, regardless of their religious beliefs or backgrounds. By promoting a culture of acceptance and understanding, these programs go beyond mere tolerance and actively work towards fostering empathy and compassion among students.

With a focus on embracing diversity, they encourage open dialogue and provide a platform for students to learn from one another’s perspectives and experiences. This inclusive approach not only enriches the educational experience but also cultivates a sense of belonging and community among students.

Balancing Faith Teachings with Academic Rigor

These programs recognize the significance of both academic excellence and faith-based values in shaping well-rounded individuals. While upholding high academic standards, they also prioritize the integration of faith teachings into the curriculum.

By doing so, they aim to instill moral and ethical values that guide students’ decision-making and character development. This integration goes beyond mere religious education and seeks to foster critical thinking, empathy, and a sense of responsibility towards others.

Overall, by striking a harmonious balance between academic rigor and faith-based teachings, these programs provide students with a comprehensive education that prepares them for success in both their personal and professional lives.

The stories of students who have benefited from after-school support programs are truly inspiring. These educational initiatives have made a positive impact on the lives of young learners. With the help of dedicated tutors, educators, and programs, these students have overcome challenges, gained confidence, and achieved academic success. Through personalized guidance and targeted assistance, they have experienced transformative moments in their educational paths.

In the following narratives, let’s dive into the stories of Jessica, Alex, and David. We’ll highlight their individual experiences with after-school support. These anecdotes showcase the power of tailored intervention , one-on-one guidance, and the unwavering dedication of educators who go above and beyond to help students thrive. 

Their journeys not only inspire but also emphasize the invaluable role that after-school support plays in shaping young minds, fostering academic growth, and building a foundation for a brighter future.

• Jessica’s Success Story: Meet Jessica, a high school student who used to struggle with math assignments. She often felt overwhelmed and frustrated when facing complex problems. But everything changed when she joined an after-school tutoring program and started working with a dedicated math tutor. With one-on-one guidance and support, Jessica gradually improved her math skills. Over time, her confidence soared, and her grades started to reflect her progress. Jessica’s success story shows how targeted after-school support can really make a difference in a student’s academic journey.
• Alex’s Academic Turnaround: Now let’s talk about Alex, a middle school student who was falling behind in reading comprehension. Worried about his progress, his parents enrolled him in an after-school literacy program. There, he received additional reading instruction and support from patient and caring educators. And guess what? Alex not only caught up to his grade level but also developed a newfound love for reading. His improved literacy skills not only boosted his academic performance but also enriched his overall learning experience.
• David’s Confidence Boost: Finally, let’s hear about David, an elementary school student who used to shy away from participating in class discussions due to his English language struggles. Thankfully, his parents enrolled him in an after-school language support program that focused on English language development. Through interactive activities and small-group sessions, David gained the confidence to communicate effectively in English. His improved language skills not only helped him academically but also enabled him to engage more actively in classroom discussions.

These stories really show how after-school support programs can empower students to overcome academic challenges, boost their confidence, and unlock their full potential. Each narrative highlights the transformative impact of tailored support and dedicated educators on students’ lives.

At the same time, it’s important to know some awesome testimonials from parents and educators who have seen the incredible impact of after-school support programs:

Sarah, Parent of a Middle School Student

“I can’t thank the after-school support program enough for the positive change it has brought to my child’s academic life. Before joining, my son was struggling with math and lacked confidence. But thanks to the dedicated tutors and personalized attention, his grades have improved and he’s become more self-assured. It’s truly amazing to see him now tackling challenges with enthusiasm and a ‘can-do’ attitude!”

Mr. Rodriguez, After-School Program Coordinator

“As an educator, it’s incredibly rewarding to witness the growth of students in our after-school support program. I’ve seen struggling readers become bookworms, hesitant learners transform into confident problem-solvers, and shy individuals blossom into active participants in classroom discussions. These programs offer a unique opportunity for us to make a lasting impact on students’ lives, and I’m proud to be part of their journey to academic success.”

These testimonials from parents and educators really highlight how after-school support programs not only boost academic achievements but also foster a supportive and nurturing learning environment where students can thrive. It’s amazing to see the positive effects these programs have on students’ personal growth and overall success!

As we conclude our comprehensive exploration of after-school support, it becomes increasingly evident that there is a surging demand for personalized academic assistance. In today’s educational landscape, students encounter an array of challenges throughout their educational journeys, ranging from navigating rigorous coursework to striking a harmonious balance between extracurricular activities and homework commitments. It is precisely in these moments that after-school support programs truly shine.

By fostering a holistic and well-rounded approach to homework help, these programs empower students to cultivate not only their academic prowess but also resilience, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. These essential skills serve as the bedrock for success in an ever-changing and dynamic educational environment.

Looking ahead, the role of after-school support programs in education will become even more prominent and impactful. 

With the rapid advancement of technology and the emergence of innovative learning methods, these programs will continue to adapt and evolve, ensuring that students have access to the necessary resources and guidance to thrive. The evolving educational landscape demands nothing less than comprehensive and personalized support for our students, and it is through these after-school programs that we are leading the way in this vital endeavor.

How to Start an Afterschool Program

Afterschool programs can help meet your community’s needs. [1] X Research source Some are academically-focused on building skills like reading, math, and language. Others may highlight outdoor play, art, sports, or music. To set up an afterschool program, consider where you will run it, what staff you’ll need, and where you’ll find funding for supplies and food. Any program that cares for young children may also have to comply with national and local government guidelines.

Researching and Planning

• If you’re a teacher, consider whether your students could benefit from an extended-day program.
• If you’re a parent or community leader, think about a childcare solution close to home where the kids in your neighborhood can safely spend a few hours.
• If you’re a student yourself, consider proposing a program that provides a unique opportunity for yourself and your peers.

• Involve the people who will use the program from the beginning so you can build it to meet their needs.

• For example, some afterschool programs simply provide an environment that is safe and comfortable, where kids can play and hang out with adult supervision while their parents work.
• Other programs set educational goals to improve reading skills or math scores for students who are struggling academically.

• If you’re setting up a program at a school that already has other afterschool programs in place, model your organization around these.
• Ask for volunteers from the community to help you meet your staffing needs.

• It is possible to run a program outdoors, but you will also need to make sure students have access to restrooms, shade, and adequate protection from weather extremes (like heat, cold, rain, etc.)
• Try to choose a space that is accessible and inclusive for students regardless of their ability.

• In other countries with more centralized educational programming, check your government’s website for a section on childcare and education. For example, in the UK, visit https://www.gov.uk/after-school-holiday-club .
• Reach out to the contacts listed for your state or local agencies by email and phone to discuss the specific requirements for your program.

Funding Your Program

• When setting your tuition cost, consider the needs of the community your program serves. If the fees are too high, you may not be able to reach to the population you want to help. [8] X Research source

• For example, if you need funds to purchase arts and crafts supplies, you can look into the Arts Learning Program of the National Endowment for the Arts. [10] X Research source
• There are also numerous Federal and state funding programs in the U.S. that specifically fund programming in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. [11] X Research source

• Material donations like crafts and food from local businesses can help reduce your financial burden.
• Community funding agencies are often helpful in providing much-needed money for overhead costs like rent and maintenance.

Implementing the Program

• Set-up stations for students like an arts and crafts station, a building station, a games station, and a reading station. This allows students to choose between a variety of different options within an organized structure. [15] X Research source

• Ask parents and students about any food allergies your students may have before offering snacks.
• Fruits, like apples, whole grains crackers, and protein, like cheese, nuts, or hummus, are great options.
• Avoid foods that are high in sugar as these cause an initial spike in energy levels, followed by a steep decline.

• By allowing them to participate in this way, you’ll help create a stronger sense of community and belonging in your students

• For example, one theme you could explore might be “spring.” Your arts and crafts activities could revolve around making flower and gardening-themed projects. You might offer building activities that include making birdhouses or terrariums. You can learn songs, games, and dances related to the seasonal change, as well.

Unleash Your Child’s Potential: Discover The Salvation Army’s After-School Programs

Children in the United States spend 80% of their waking hours outside of school , and 1 in 5 children are alone after the school day ends. After-school programs have been proven to foster social and academic development as programs provide safe and structured environments for kids during after-school hours, oftentimes filling the space between the end of the school day and when parents return from work.

We know that every parent wants the best for their child’s future. Sometimes, in a world filled with distractions and challenges, finding the right support system can make all the difference. From homework assistance and tutoring to encouraging higher grades and boosting motivation to team-building activities and cooperative learning experiences that help develop essential social skills, our programs are designed to empower kids to unlock their potential and thrive.   

Help build a safe space for a kid to grow, learn, and build lifelong skills.

The salvation army supplements and supports kids’ educational opportunities through:, homework assistance and counseling.

The Salvation Army’s after-school programs are designed to inspire and challenge. For instance, the Cedar Rapids Salvation Army recently opened a new computer lab at its C Avenue headquarters . The lab provides academic support, homework help, and enrichment opportunities to kids who otherwise have no access to computers. And The Salvation Army of North Texas strikes the perfect balance of learning and having fun. In addition to providing homework assistance and tutoring, the staff also encourages kids to engage in art, music, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), martial arts, sports, and culinary arts. 

Sports, Clubs, and Extracurricular Activities

Healthy minds and healthy bodies are both crucial elements of youth development. Our no-fee and low-cost after-school programs offer children a chance to play sports and learn athletic skills. Our exciting after-school sports programs inspire a love for health and fitness while teaching teamwork and leadership skills that build healthy, positive relationships with peers. Consider the Seattle White Center after-school program. Best described as an action-packed game where fun meets growth, The White Center organizes youth sports leagues for basketball and futsal, a fast-paced soccer game played on the gym floor with a low-bounce ball and smaller goals. The kids have a blast and learn the essentials of teamwork and other skills that will stay with them for a lifetime. 

Dance, Art, and Music Programs

Our youth community programs provide freedom for children to experience music and art education in supportive no-cost or low-cost environments. We encourage curiosity and exploration through creativity in the arts. The classes and programs vary by location, but we offer everything from choir, band, and dancing to drawing, writing, and acting. For example, in Oregon, when area schools could no longer afford arts programming, The Gresham Corps Youth Center recognized the need and created an after-school music program. From choirs to instrument training, activities, and lessons, students develop an early love for and appreciation of the fine arts that will serve them their whole lives.   

Parental Involvement Coaching

Beyond the activities and academics, our after-school programs foster a sense of community and belonging. Each Salvation Army community center is dedicated to equipping young parents with the skills needed to support and sustain their children’s educational needs. 

One very special example is the “Fatherhood in Action” program at The Salvation Army Metropolitan Division in Chicago . Fatherhood in Action provides job training and placement assistance to young fathers. The program helps participants build a stronger sense of character and social responsibility and learn life and co-parenting skills that help them become better dads. With the success of the program, The Salvation Army extended it to the Cook County Jail, offering to help fathers build better relationships .

 Serving All Without Discrimination

In providing its after-school and summer camp programs and services to families, The Salvation Army is committed to accommodating all those in need without unlawful discrimination or harassment based on age, race, color, religion, sex, national origin, marital status, disability, citizenship, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or any other characteristic in accordance with our capacity to help.

The Salvation Army Is Here to Help More Kids Learn More Things

How to Set Up a Homework Club

Homework clubs can be a fantastic way for students to get together, help each other, and stay motivated to complete their school assignments. If you’re considering setting up a homework club, here are some steps to guide you through the process.

 Define the Purpose and Goals

Before you start a homework club, it’s important to determine why you’re starting it and what you hope to achieve. Do you want to provide a quiet space for individual study, or are you aiming for collaborative learning where students help each other? Setting clear goals will help guide the structure of your club.

 Choose a Location

A suitable location is critical. This place should be quiet, have enough space, and be easily accessible to students. Libraries, community centers, or empty classrooms are excellent places as they provide a formal atmosphere conducive to studying.

 Set a Schedule

Decide on the days and times that the homework club will meet. It’s important to consider when students are most likely to attend — after school or in the evening. Be consistent with the timing so that students can build it into their routine.

 Gather Materials

Make sure you have all the materials necessary for effective studying: textbooks, reference books, stationary supplies like pens and paper, computers with internet access if possible, printer/scanner facilities, etc.

 Establish Rules and Structure

Creating a set of rules helps to maintain order and focus within the group. For instance, settle on rules regarding noise levels, toy usage during club time (like phones), or bringing snacks. Additionally, decide how the time will be structured—whether there’ll be a quick briefing at the start of each session or if students break off into groups.

 Recruit Members

You’ll need to promote your homework club to gather members. You can do this by creating flyers and posters to advertise around your school or local community centers. You could also use social media or word-of-mouth to get the word out there.

 Find Supervision

Having an adult supervisor like a teacher or parent can help oversee the club activities. This person can provide homework help if needed or mediate any disruptions that arise during study time.

 Secure Funding if Necessary

If you require funds for materials or snacks, look into potential sponsorships from local businesses or educational grants available in your area that support after-school programs.

 Monitor Progress and Solicit Feedback

It’s important to keep track of how well the homework club is meeting its intended goals. Ask for regular feedback from members and adjust your strategies accordingly. This ensures that the club remains effective and continues to meet student needs.

With careful planning and management, a homework club can be an invaluable resource that fosters community support among students as they work towards academic success.

Why a homework club could work for your child

What is a homework club?

Homework clubs offer a place for your child to work in a supportive environment out of school hours.

Why choose a homework club?

Some children are so self-motivated that they’re able to work diligently on homework and ignore the distractions of normal family life, but not everyone finds it so easy.

Boost Your Child's English & Maths!

• Weekly programme for each school year
• Worksheets sent direct to your inbox
• Keeps your child's learning on track

Doing homework requires a quiet space to work at home and support from you. If your job or other children make it tricky to provide those things you might want to consider the option of a homework club.

Who runs homework clubs?

Schools and many public libraries offer them, usually after school finishes for the day. Check what’s available with your school and local authority. The biggest advantage of a school-based homework club is that it’s on the same premises, so children don’t have to travel to the club.  Familiarity with teachers is also a plus point, and your child is in an environment where they are already relaxed.

If your child would prefer a change of location at the end of the school day a library homework club might be the answer. They usually run from 4pm to 6.30pm and sometimes for a few hours on a Saturday morning. “We find that children start getting more homework from the age of nine onwards so our clubs are of most benefit for eight to 14-year-olds,” says Lucy Love, manager for children and young people at libraries run by Enfield Council. “Under-eights can come to the club but a parent or carer must be with them.”

What benefits do clubs offer?

“The great thing about library homework clubs are the homework centre assistants – while they don’t do the child’s work, they have the knowledge and experience to guide them to the relevant books or online resources such as encyclopaedias,” explains Lucy. “We encourage children to use online data, as it’s usually the most up-to-date, and can offer equipment such as protractors and SATs papers. Homework clubs are also a great way of helping the child’s transition to secondary school.”

What to do after homework club

• When you get home, ask your child to explain what their homework is – this will show you they have understood it properly themselves.  
• Help your child to settle down and concentrate by making sure there are no distractions around them when they go over their homework with you.  
• Encourage your child to check their work to reinforce the learning they have done.

Homework Club Schedule

OPEN ENROLLMENT YEAR ROUND!

Students are welcome to enroll in Homework Club at any time throughout the school year. We offer support to our students Monday through Thursday. Students may attend two, three, four or five days a week for 2 or more hours each session. There are 4 sessions available. Starting at 1:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Homework club will not offer any out of campus field trips. Summer and winter programs are also available; please inquire within for the programs, hours and fees.

Arrival and Pick-up

To ensure the safety of the students in care, students will only be released to adults authorized in the application and emergency form by the parent(s). Identification will be checked before any student is released until the staff becomes familiar with the individuals who pick-up students. Daily attendance will be taken and parents will be notified by a text message to their primary care takers’ cell phone if their child is not at the homework club location by 2:45pm. Each student grades 2 and above are expected to walk to the Homework Club location as soon as their class is dismissed. For student’s k-1st grade, Homework Club staff will assist with pick-up from the classroom. Each student must be signed out by an adult identified in the Identification and Emergency Information form (LIC 700). Students will not be released to anyone not listed on the emergency form (LIC 700). It is critical that the information on the emergency form is current. If there are any changes, please let Kristine or Henry Demirchian know as soon as possible. Homework Club will not provide any type of transportation for drop-off or pick-up.

Absence Policy

Research shows that students who are successful in schooling are the ones who are consistent with their studies and the ones who have no absences and tardiness from school. One way parents can help in this matter is to make sure that their student gets to school on time and every day. It is asked that all students of Homework Club follow the same guidelines. It is very important for students to commit and respect the schedule assigned to them. At Homework Club, we do not excuse absences, unless of course the child has an infectious disease. Homework Club requires 4 weeks prior notification for absences, students will not be reimbursed if notification is given on a last minute. This is due to the limitation of our space and the restrictions of the amount of students we can enroll and attend to. When we schedule a student, we ensure that your student will have 100% of our attention and will have his/her spot with a designated staff member. We work hard to ensure the success of every child!

Homework Club is a place where students should feel safe and secure, and it is a place where they can become a part of our family in an unbiased learning environment. We do not allow or tolerate any kind of disrespect or bullying to staff or to the other students in the group. We expect students to be kind and polite to others with their words and actions. Good manners are strongly enforced! Our goal is to create a group of students who work well together and who are respectful. We will not allow swearing, stealing, fighting, or other misbehavior. Cell phones are not to be used during program hours. Cell phones must stay in the back packs or they will be taken away. Staff can be reached at 818-606-7658 for Mrs. Kristine or 818-624-7657 for Mr. Henry.

Students will be expected to use good behavior, as expected in school. Students who do not respect the rules and regulations of Homework Club will result in a conference with the parents. Please keep in mind that Homework Club is a learning facility and everyone is expected to behave in a respected manner. Students with poor behavior will be asked to be picked up by a parent or a guardian.

Any form of discipline or punishment that violates a child's personal rights shall not be permitted regardless of authorized representative consent or authorization. Regardless of the situation, students will never experience corporal punishment, denial of snack breaks, or denial of restroom use.

Admission Policy

Parents may set-up an appointment or call for more information. To enroll a student, an interview will be conducted with the parent/guardian and the child. Parents must fill out an enrollment application packet before the student can attend H.C. A scheduled appointment may be set per request for a quick observation of the program.

A 30 day notice shall be sent to the parent/guardian of the child prior to any change or modification to Homework Club program, tuition, policies or procedures.

To ensure the high quality of our services, the Department of Social Services may conduct interviews with children without any prior notice or permission from the parent/guardian of the child, or Homework Club.

Termination of Contract

The contract may be terminated with sufficient notice to the Director of Homework Club. A 30 day notice is required if for any reason the child will need to stop attending Homework Club. However, the admission agreement shall automatically be terminated by the death of the child.

The contract may also be terminated by the Homework Club for the following reasons: student’s continuous bad behavior (3 warnings/parent conferences) including but not limited to interruption of class, bullying, disrespect to staff and other students.

Snacks and Breaks

Students will have a 10 minute break during the Homework Club Session in the classroom or in the school yard. Students are encouraged to bring a snack to eat at Homework Club or eat the dinner provided by the school “dinner at school” if applicable. Homework Club will provide a small snack if required (prepackaged non-perishable food items).

Medication Policy

Homework Club staff is not trained for administering ANY type of medication to students. Thus, medication will not be administered by our staff or stored on location.

Questions and Concerns

We encourage all parents to keep an open communication with us. We believe that effective communication is one of the essential tools to help a student achieve their goals. With proper communication we can better serve your child. We can be reached at any time during the day via email, at [email protected] , via phone at 818-606-7658 for Kristine or 818-624-7657 for Henry; we are also open to communicate over text messages or letters and notes.

Email us and we will contact you short after.

What Is Homework Club?

Homework club is an after school club for students to complete homework/school work. Students report to a specific classroom and are supervised by a teacher. The teacher will offer assistance and check on students to make sure they are completing school work. The length of homework club will vary by school but usually lasts for about an hour after the school day ends. 

Who Is Homework Club For?

Homework club if for students that struggle to complete school work and homework. 

Students that attend homework club benefit from a quiet place to complete work after school. 

Homework club is usually available to all students but often students with a 504 or an IEP will get first consideration.

In my school we have limited spaces in homework club so it’s up to us, the teachers, to choose students that will benefit from it the most.

If you need a description of what homework is then I answered that in this article .

How Often Is Homework Club?

How often a school has homework club really depends on the school and the district. 

First of all not all schools have the means to offer homework club to students.

Because the teacher that supervises the students in homework club needs to be compensated and some schools don’t have the money to pay them. 

For schools that do have the money to pay a teacher to supervise homework club they may offer homework club every day or only a few days a week. 

The middle school I work at offers our students homework club two days a week. 

Is Homework Club Effective?

Whether or not homework club is effective depends on two things: the teacher supervising and the students. 

If the supervisor engages with the students and sets expectations for work completion then the club can have an impact.  

However, if the supervising teacher is not engaged then the students will not get as much work done. 

In my experiences I have seen homework as beneficial to students but have also had students that attend it and it doesn’t seem to impact their grade or learning at all.

Often the students that are in homework club are students that struggle with work completion and organization.

This is why the teacher that supervises them really needs to have them set daily or weekly goals to ensure that work completion is taking place.

My girls and I are very pleased and happy with Homework Club. This program provides an excellent virtual sessions utilizing audio/video chat and on campus tutoring. Most importantly they're able to support my girls with all school subjects. The tutors are amazing and the director is wonderful, she always takes her time to validate all assignments are completed on time and accurately. Amazing pricing for tutoring and flexible hours. I absolutely recommend Homework Club!

Very happy how hw club helped my son succeed. Highly recommend sending your kids there. When they come home all of the hw is done so the stress of doing hw is no longer an issue.

I have been taking my kids to Homework Club and now my sister is taking both of her kids there. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this company, about their service. Their personal approach to every kids needs is something to talk about. No kid is the same and they go out of their way to make sure that they all go home with their work complete correctly, accurately and they understand it all.

— Igor Volk, a Soviet-era cosmonaut whose only spaceflight in 1984 was intended to prepare him to fly Russia's space shuttle Buran before it was canceled, died on Tuesday (Jan. 3). He was 79. Volk's death was reported on the website for the Russian city of Zhukovsky, where the cosmonaut was an honorary citizen. "[Volk] was a representative of the legendary generation of cosmonauts," the city officials wrote on Zhukovskiy.ru . "He will remain in our memory as an outstanding personality, an extraordinary man and a highly skilled, courageous test cosmonaut, who made a contributions to the exploration of outer space and to the knowledge of the mysteries of the universe." Roscosmos, Russia's federal space corporation, confirmed Volk's death in a post to its Facebook page.

Selected in July 1977 among the first group of civilian test pilots for the Buran, the Soviet Union's answer to the U.S. space shuttle, Volk passed basic cosmonaut training and qualified for a spaceflight assignment in 1980. Volk might have then waited for a mission on board the winged orbiter — a flight that would ultimately never come — were it not for an aborted space station docking three years earlier. In the wake of a two-man, all-rookie Soyuz crew failing to dock to the Salyut 6 station, a new rule was instituted by the Soviet space program that every crew had to include at least one person who had previously flown into space. As such, Volk was initially named to fly with Leonid Kizim and Vladimir Solovyov to the Salyut 7 space station in 1983, to provide him the experience needed to lead the first flight of the Buran. Another failed docking mission however, resulted in Kizim and Solovyov being reassigned to a later launch and Volk being added to the Soyuz T-12 mission crew with Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Svetlana Savitskaya, the latter being the world's second woman to fly into space making her second spaceflight. Volk, Dzhanibekov and Savitskaya launched on July 17, 1984 from Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome (now located in Kazakhstan). During the Soyuz T-12 mission, the seventh crewed flight to visit Salyut 7, Savitskaya became the first woman to go out on a spacewalk, beating NASA astronaut Kathy Sullivan by three months.

Volk returned to Earth with his two crewmates on July 29, 1984, logging a total of 11 days, 19 hours and 14 minutes in space. Soon after he landed, Volk boarded a Tu-154LL Buran training aircraft and flew an approach following the same flight path the orbiter would on its return from space, touching down at Zhukovsky Air Base near Moscow. The flight demonstrated that a cosmonaut still readjusting to gravity could safely fly the shuttle to a landing, though Volk, nor any other cosmonaut, would have the opportunity to conduct that real re-entry from space. Igor Petrovich Volk was born in Kharkiv, now the second- largest city in Ukraine, on April 12, 1937, 24 years to the day before cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin would become the first human to fly into space and 44 years to the day before the first launch of NASA's space shuttle. A pilot in the Soviet Air Force and graduate of Kirovograd Military Aviation School in 1956, Volk received his degree in engineering from the Moscow Aviation Institute in 1969. He then went to work as a civilian test pilot at the Gromov Flight Research Institute, flying jets, including the MiG-21, MiG-25 and Su-27, as well as a single flight in the "Lapot," an atmospheric test vehicle for the never-realized MiG-105 "Spiral" space plane. After his Soyuz T-12 mission, Volk continued to prepare for a Buran mission by piloting 13 flights of the analog version of the shuttle, the OK-GLI, between November 1985 and April 1988. His last approach and landing flight marked the 25th and last flight for the vehicle, which is now on display at the Technik Museum Speyer in Germany.

The Buran only launched to space once, without a crew, in 1988, before the program was canceled in 1993. "Energiya-Buran is the most powerful space vehicle the world has ever seen, and, had it been given the chance to fully develop, it would have been of great benefit to the people of the Soviet Union and, indeed, the world," Volk wrote in his foreword to the 2007 book "Energiya-Buran" by Bart Hendrickx and Bert Vis. "It didn't get that chance, but the political, and to some extent, economical situation, were not ideal." In 1995, Volk left the cosmonaut corps to become director of the flight test center at the MM Gromov Flight Research Institute in Zhukovsky, a position he held until he retired in 2002. For his service to the country's space program, Volk was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin in June 1984. Volk is survived by his wife, Valentina, and two daughters, Marina and Irina.
