Program Overview
Mission
HomeWorks inspires and equips young women from marginalized communities to achieve their potential and positively transform the world around them by providing a supportive and educational residential environment.
Program Description
Students live at HomeWorks during the week then spend the weekend with their families. While at our program, students receive housing, transport to and from school, healthy meals, and social and academic resources such as tutoring, therapy, and social identity workshops. All of our programming is offered free of cost by local volunteers and college students. We try to bring all of the benefits of the boarding school experience to public education without high costs and scalability issues.
