Homework Central

Homework Central serves students in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade in the San Mateo-Foster City School District that have been identified as needing additional support outside of school.

HWC provides a warm, welcoming environment in which children get individual and group tutoring in English, reading, and math, complete assigned work online, and do enriching science, art, music, and other activities

In addition, we offer Family Nights four times per year, in which students, their siblings and caregivers, volunteers and community members join us for a healthy dinner and themed activities including literacy, music, and community-building.

Mission Statement

Homework Central empowers students facing structural inequities through academic assistance, family engagement, and community resources.

Vision Statement

Homework Central envisions a community where every child is assured the academic resources needed to reach their full potential.

Values

Compassion | We recognize the social/economic challenges facing students and their families and provide educational and community resources to assist in overcoming these barriers.

Service | Volunteers form the heart of Homework Central. Together, we build relationships with students to encourage their academic success and build self-confidence.

Resilience | As an organization, Homework Central confronts and overcomes obstacles to deliver much needed academic and emotional support to students and their families. We are dedicated and persistent.

Equity | All students should have the same access to quality educational opportunities. No student should be excluded because of race, ethnicity, language barriers, gender, or socio-economic challenges

Community | We bring together a community of families, educators, volunteers, resource-providers, and donors to wrap around students to ensure their success.
