Our 50th Birthday Giveaway: Volunteer Stories Edition - Mikaila

My favourite memory from volunteering at Homework Club at Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House happened recently when one of the elementary students came up to me and said,

“Mikaila! Where were you last week?! I wanted to update you about what happened at school, but you weren’t even there!”

When she told me this, I was surprised because I didn’t think any of the students would notice my absence, since other tutors were present. And the fact that one of the coordinators at Homework Club told me that this student was looking for me while I was away just goes to show the impact we (as tutors) have on these kids. With that said, this is (by far) my favourite memory from volunteering at Homework Club because I was able to develop a relationship with this student to the point where she not only felt comfortable enough to talk to me about these things, but is eager to share what’s going on in her life and genuinely wants me to know.

💙💜💚 For our ninth story in 50 Stories for 50 Years, we celebrate Ruth Suárez’s journey from newcomer to community leader at Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House, where support, mentorship, and connection helped her family thrive and inspired her to give back by supporting newcomers and seniors in the community.

Her story reflects the power of a welcoming community and the lasting impact of people who care.

Today, she helps others find the same sense of support, opportunity, and belonging that shaped her own journey. 💙💜💚

💙💜💚 For our seventh story in 50 Stories for 50 Years, we share Sara and Ann’s journey of finding compassionate tutors, encouragement, and a strong sense of belonging at Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House’s Homework Club.

After a referral from Sara’s school counselor, they discovered far more than a drop-in study space, they found a learning lifeline. Through personalized one-on-one support, Sara gained the confidence and skills she needed to succeed in challenging courses.

Along the way, she also found a welcoming community that continues to support her growth both inside and outside the classroom. 💙💜💚
