Encourage teen learning with YALSA’s homework help webinar this February

CHICAGO — From hungry dogs to alien abductions to corrupted flash drives, the list of excuses for missed homework assignments is never ending. Help your teens get a head start on their homework by hosting a homework help program at your library. Join host Mari Hardacre as she discusses both in-person and online homework help programs, including fee-based and free services, during our Feb. 17 webinar.

Learn how to get teens involved in the program through outreach and partnerships, as well as  tips for marketing your program.  Look into the future with us as we discuss where homework help programs are headed and what role social media may play.

The webinar will take place at 2 p.m. EST on Feb. 17.  Webinars cost $39 for individual YALSA members, $49 for all other individuals and $195 for groups (unlimited participants).
