OUR SERVICE<br />
A community-based, after-school boarding program that provides<br />
academic and social-emotional enrichment activities to supplement<br />
public schools, empower women, and build community leaders.<br />
Thank You<br />
OUR MISSION<br />
To foster a community of empowered young women who strive to<br />
achieve their full potential and positively impact the world around<br />
them.<br />
WHY HOMEWORKS?<br />
Bringing the benefits of the boarding school experience to public<br />
education without<br />
Difficult Bureaucracy<br />
High fixed costs<br />
Scalability issues<br />
A local 5-½ day boarding school does not require<br />
its scholars to “trade home and family for<br />
education”; instead, students live in the same<br />
community as their parents, speak with them<br />
daily, and live in their parents’ homes from Friday<br />
evening to Sunday evening.<br />
