About HOME WORKS!

HOME WORKS! is an established, Missouri-based nonprofit, leading the way in implementing impactful parent and family engagement strategies that support student success. Research shows that students thrive academically and socially when parents and teachers partner together, but too often, this collaboration is missing. HOME WORKS! bridges that gap by fostering relationships between parents and educators to help students succeed both in and out of the classroom. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and we empower parents and teachers to work together to create brighter futures. Our students attend school more regularly, perform better academically, and feel more connected to their school communities. Learn more at teacherhomevisit.org.
