Mission
HOMEWORKS IS A FREE, AFTER-SCHOOL RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS FROM MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES. FROM SUNDAY TO FRIDAY, OUR SCHOLARS LIVE IN THE HOMEWORKS DORM AND ARE TRANSPORTED TO AND FROM THEIR PUBLIC SCHOOLS. EVERY AFTERNOON, SCHOLARS ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON ACADEMICS AND IDENTITY-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP. THEY THEN EAT A FAMILY-STYLE MEAL AND STAY OVERNIGHT IN OUR DORM WITH FOUR FULL-TIME STAFF MEMBERS. BY PROVIDING A SAFE ACADEMIC AND RESIDENTIAL SPACE, HOMEWORKS SCHOLARS ALL OVER THE WORLD WILL GAIN THE TOOLS TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, AND COLLECTIVELY BREAK DOWN SOCIAL INJUSTICES IN THEIR HOME COMMUNITIES AND BEYOND THROUGH GROUND-UP, PEOPLE-DRIVEN SYSTEMIC CHANGE. WE ARE STARTING IN TRENTON, NJ.
