Homework Help
Milwaukee Public Library's Homework Help program is offered at Central
Library and four neighborhood libraries. Elementary and middle school
students often come to the libraries looking for help with school assignments.
Volunteers listen, guide them and advise them on their homework. Hours are generally week nights from 4 to 7 p.m. Call the libraries listed below for specific days and times when homework help is available.
Adult volunteers are needed to mentor and work with young people in the Homework Help program October through May. If you have two hours per week to help a youngster, please call one of these libraries and ask a librarian for details.
Adult volunteers are needed at the four libraries listed above to help other adults improve their reading, writing, math, GED and English speaking skills.
Arrange tutoring times according to your schedule, Mondays through Saturdays, two hours per week.
A four-week tutor training program is provided for adult volunteers who choose to participate in this program. The sessions are also open to volunteers from community-based organizations on an "as available" basis. Three sessions are led by adult education instructors from Milwaukee Area Technical College; one session is an orientation at the library site of the volunteer's choice.
To register, call 286-3009.
