Give today to help children

Hoops and Homework is a safe and nurturing neighborhood-based after-school program which expands opportunities for youth in Framingham.

• We believe that there is a need for after-school services in the neighborhoods where children live.
• We create a positive social and learning environment where all children can succeed.
• We develop strong social and emotional skills.
• We put a high value on each child's educational growth and good study habits.
• We believe that physical activity and recreation builds strong hearts and minds.
• We encourage children to explore, experiment, be creative, and adopt a problem-solving mentality.
• We recognize that children's hunger must be addressed before they can learn.
• We instill a positive can-do attitude in our children and staff to build self-esteem and self-worth.
• We encourage everyone in the community to participate in our mission (children, families, staff, volunteers, neighbors, schools, and community leaders), because everyone can add value.
