COMMUNITY PARTNER INFORMATION:
Organization:
Strathcona Heights Homework Club
Description:
Stratcona Heights is a housing community located on the edge of Sandy Hill. It houses hundreds of families. Three years ago, Ruweida Shire and other volunteer teachers started a homework club to help youth living in the housing complex improve their academic and leadership skills. The program has proven to be very successful as 180 children from kindergarden to grade 12 now attend on a weekly basis. The program runs between 4:30pm to 8:30pm on a daily basis, from Monday to Friday, from September to June and serves a bilingual clientele.
