Haven Homework Club

Program Description

The Upper Valley Haven, located in White River Junction, VT, provides temporary shelter and educational programming for homeless families and adults as well as food and clothing to anyone in need.

The Haven Homework Club provides tutoring assistance to children of families who do or have received services at the Haven. The goal of the Homework Club is to provide a safe, nurturing environment that encourages and supports children while they complete their homework.
