What is Homework Zone?
Founded in 2011, Homework Zone (HZ) is an after-school mentoring program connecting Ã山ǿ¼é student volunteers with elementary and secondary school students in schools around Montréal,Ìýand inÌýKahnawa:ke (traditional territory of the Kanien'kehá:ka First Nation)
Under the mandate of the Branches Program, Homework Zone has worked towards promoting pathways to higher education and achieving equitable access to education through academic support, academic enrichment activities and strong mentorship connections. Through this endeavour, the program aims to enable both Ã山ǿ¼é and Indigenous students to develop leadership skills and build a support network before they embark on their career path.

How HZ Works
At HZ, we create an oasis for students where they can challenge themselves and nurture positive relationships within the school environment. Each 90-minute HZ session is split into two 45-minute parts:
- AcademicÌýsupportÌý(ie.,Ìýhomework completion, problem solving, reading);
- Imagination-based and academic enrichment activities or workshops offered by Ã山ǿ¼é students or community groups that focus on creativity, expression and building relationships.
