Please consider volunteering once a week at Halfmoon Bay Community School’s Homework Club. Duties include preparing a healthy snack, welcoming kids after their day at school and helping with homework. The club provides a safe and happy place for kids to be after school, they get their homework done and have some fun too! They start to prepare at 2 p.m. and finish at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. If you enjoy working with kids and have an hour a week to spare, please consider joining them! Contact Wendy at wwhite@sd46.bc.ca or call 604-551-8461. Please note: everyone who volunteers at the school needs to do a school specific criminal record check. It’s free to do! Thank you!
