OUR OUTCOMES
Many youths living in low-income areas in Holyoke lack access to high-quality tutoring programs. Homework House addresses this issue by offering free, research-based after-school and summer tutoring and literacy programs to Holyoke students in grades 1 through 5. Our outcomes demonstrate how Homework House helps close the achievement gap for Holyoke youth—one tutoring session at a time!
