Hayward Public Library’s After School Homework Support Centers serve over 600 unduplicated students from incredibly diverse backgrounds each year -- an average of 55 students per day at our two locations, four days per week in the library after school throughout the regular school year. Our corps of trained tutors currently numbers over 50 dedicated community volunteers, many of whom are local high school students who help out by tutoring their younger peers. The centers are high-tech – in addition to the trained on-site volunteer help, they offer 25 laptop computers dedicated solely for use in the center, an interactive 80” touch screen loaded with educational activities for all ages, and free online access to the Tutor.com live homework help service to any HPL library card holder. The Homework Centers would not be as successful as they are without our volunteers!
