SEAC's after school Homework Help Program helps students age 6-16 in six northeast Chicago public libraries. There is no charge, and students simply come to the library and ask the librarian where to find the Homework Help Program. The only obligation is for parents to fill out a confidential form, which are required.

The program provides a safe, wholesome, supervised place for children to go after school. It helps children whose parents are too busy or tired at the end of the day to help with homework. It also helps children whose parents are immigrants and who are not able to adequately help children with their work.

Moreover, the program provides children a cross culturally sensitive mentor and role model. Students build positive, trusting relationships with an adult in a welcoming learning environment.

Each library has one tutor and frequent volunteers. Tutors keep parents of enrolled students informed and contact parents at least once a semester to report on attendance, student academic progress and behavior.

Since busy parents often have no time to contact schools, and busy schools often do not have the time to contact parents, the Homework Help Program takes the time to keep parents and schools in touch with one another -- and in concert with the after school portion of the child's life as well.
