Free Homework Help: Seattle Public Libraries

Description

Do you know a child or teen who can use academic support this year? Homework Help volunteers will be available during the school year at Seattle Public Library branches to assist K-12 students with school assignments during the school year (except on weekends and school holidays). No reservations are needed, but space is limited. Students without homework can read and play learning enrichment games with trained tutors.

Please note that, while Homework Help is available to students from kindergarten through 12th grade, volunteers are not responsible for children, who should not be left unsupervised.

ADA Accommodations can provide accommodations for people with disabilities at Library events. Please contact LEAP via this form at least seven days before the event to request accommodations.

Homework Help follows the SPS calendar, so there is no Homework Help during Thanksgiving week, winter break, mid-winter break, spring break, and on holidays. Check the SPS calendar here.
