Kids

Welcome to the Stratford Library Children’s Department.

• Homework Helpers starts in October

  For families with children grades K-8

  The Stratford Library, provides weekly homework tutoring to children in grades K-8 with teen volunteers as tutors. Usually, volunteers provide help with math, reading, and other school subjects.

  Homework Helpers cannot provide medically prescribed/special needs tutoring. Participants are required to follow the Library’s Code of Conduct, including our Unattended Child policies, at all times.

  If you would like to participate, please fill out this interest form – we will contact you.

  Our volunteer schedules vary and we may not be able to help every interested family. Thank you for your understanding.

  *The K-5 program is supported by the Carol Pieper Memorial Fund and the Vicki Soto Memorial Fund. The 6-8 program is supported by the Stratford Library Teen Department.
