YOUTH PROGRAMS
AFTER SCHOOL HOMEWORK PROGRAM
ALIKE’s After School Homework program supports racialized children and youth living in affordable housing from grades 1 to 12. Our program coordinators and volunteers provide a range of programs and activities and assist them with their homework including community engagement, life skill development, mentoring, and teaching them the necessary skills to develop problem-solving skills as they engage with the education system. We want to make sure children and youth in the Kitchener-Waterloo region are not struggling with their academics or social life. Therefore, our coordinators and volunteers work with program participants to put them on pathways to access post-secondary education through mentoring and tutoring for academic success.
Every Monday and Friday, participants must come prepared with their homework and ready to participate. ALIKE intends to prepare participants for post-secondary education and employment therefore, we expect all participants to be on time.
ALIKE After School Program registration is ongoing. All parents can register their children and youth from now to June 2022.
