Power Hour
Making academics a priority
Every day, Club members dedicate time after school to focus on homework or participate in differentiated educational activities.
Power Hour helps Club members ages 6-18 achieve academic success by providing homework support, tutoring and technology engaged activities. The program gives Club members assistance, resources and guidance in a safe place and under the supervision of qualified staff and tutors. By encouraging members to develop a daily habit of completing homework and studying, in a dedicated space with adult support, Power Hour helps members make a commitment to school and learning.
Ready Readers
Kids who read succeed!
The Ready Readers Program shares books and reading with Club youth ages 6-12 to inspire a love of reading and to set the stage for successful learning. Club members work one-on-one with volunteer reading coaches weekly, building vocabulary and establishing the foundation for literacy and lifelong learning. Button?: Become a Ready Readers volunteer.
