Get homework help from National Honor Society students
For all K-12 students, Elkhart Public Library provides a space for after-school tutoring.
National Honor Society students from Concord High School and Elkhart High School will be available to help any student with their homework, no matter the subject. Tutors are not unlimited, so it is on a first come, first served basis.
Starting Monday, Sept. 30, 2024 Homework Help is available from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. according to the below schedule.
Monday – Downtown and Cleveland
Tuesday – Dunlap
Wednesday – Pierre Moran
Students interested in coming to Homework Help should bring their assignments, as well as the materials and supplies needed to complete projects. They will get help from qualified and knowledgeable National Honor Society students, and they also get to create a bond with a good role model from the community.
“Homework Help has been an ongoing program at EPL for more than 15 years,” says Chuck Pieri, Branch Children’s Librarian, “and when it started, I think it was especially important since the schools didn’t offer a lot of after-school programming for the students.”
But things are different this time around, and Homework Help is more of a supplement to the programs offered at schools. Pieri is hopeful this program will serve students well.
“I hope that the kids get the help they need for their assignments, as well as new skills and strategies to tackle these subjects on their own in the future,” Pieri says. “I’m happy that we can collaborate with the schools and create a safe learning environment where young kids and their peers can work together.”
While students are here for Homework Help, they will also get the chance to check out more of Elkhart Public Library’s resources.
“I also hope that while they are here they take advantage of all we have to offer,” Pieri says, “like getting a free library card, checking out books, or accessing digital music, eBooks and much more.”
Note that Homework Help does not occur on days when schools are closed.
