- Materials: Homework centers may provide pencils, computers, and other materials students may need.

Some programs may also provide extra help with specific subjects. These might include:
- Reading & Writing: Book clubs, story time, a reading library, or help with writing
- Math: Math games, projects, and/or tutoring
- Science: Science projects that expand on lessons learned in school
