Grant to Be Used for Homework Center
- Share via
Children living in the Jeffrey-Lynne neighborhood soon will get some help with their homework, thanks to nearly $10,000 in federal grant money.
The $9,470 will be used to operate a Homework Center Monday through Thursday after school and early evenings at the Jeffrey-Lynne Community Center.
The community center opened nearly a decade ago in the low-income neighborhood near Disneyland.
The Homework Center will provide assistance to children attending Palm Lane Elementary School, Ball Junior High School, Loara High School and area continuation campuses. Computer classes will be included.
Grant money will pay for a part-time program coordinator, who will oversee academic activities and supervise interns, volunteers and participants. The money also will provide for supplies and materials.
