HPL Homework Helpers and Reading Ambassadors

 

EVERY Tuesday and Thursday, 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. in the Teen Lounge

 

Getting homework help from a high school student is fun!

 

Students K-8 can drop in during our Homework Helpers and Reading Ambassadors sessions to receive help from a local high school student. 

 

HPL's High School Homework Helpers and Reading Ambassadors can help with homework and read with younger students. Parents will sign in their students and find an available volunteer at one of our designated tables.

 

Homework Helpers and Reading Ambassadors are fun, free and available on a drop-in basis every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.
