About this service

A free after school program for children in grades 1-8 from Bennetto Public School and St. Lawrence Catholic Elementary School. Kids receive one-on-one and small group homework help, and participate in educational games and social activities. Running from 3:15 to 5 pm Monday to Friday, each afternoon begins with a shared meal. The children participate in the Kids Can Spend, Save, Share financial literacy curriculum and earn an allowance each week as they learn about money and increase their financial literacy skills.

Every student in LAF is carefully matched to a volunteer mentor from McMaster University or the local community to receive one-on-one mentoring and homework assistance. Mentors are not only positive role models, but also Nurturers of Possibilities in the lives of our students. The mentors receive ongoing training in their role and are equipped to creatively meet the children where they are academically and socially.
