Our after-school program runs from September through May, five days a week. Our volunteers make the work of Homework Central possible. We rely on them to help students with their homework, engage them in skill-building exercises and enrichment activities, and celebrate their accomplishments. Consistency, patience, and caring are what make the difference for kids who are struggling in school.

Program sites are at Baywood, San Mateo Park, and Sunnybrae schools in San Mateo.

If you have two hours a week, you have the ability to make a difference for a student who needs help with school work.

Baywood, Laurel, and Sunnybrae:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, 3 – 5 pm; Wednesday 1 – 3 pm.

San Mateo Park:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 3 – 6 pm, and Wednesday 1 – 6 pm.

• Must have a love of children, patience, and a desire to help others. 
• Commit to a minimum of one day per week (2 hours) for 3 months.
• Minimum age is high school and beyond, and we would be happy to sign off on community service hours as needed.
• Anyone over the age of 18 must complete a LiveScan background check, child abuse mandated reporter training, and submit proof of TB clearance prior to volunteering.

Active volunteers can access training information, on-boarding documents, and self-schedule.
