Hoops and Homework offers summer enrichment to Framingham kids

After a year of Zoom school and isolation, many kids are more than ready to spend the summer together playing and learning.

Hoops and Homework, a Framingham-based nonprofit that provides academic support and enrichment activities to underserved local children, hopes to help them catch up to their typical learning level this summer through an all-day academic and enrichment program.

Hoops and Homework has undergone several changes recently, from an expanded facility to a new program director: Framingham native Kevin Lopez. Prior to his work with Hoops and Homework, Lopez was a youth programs coordinator for MassHire Metro South/West Careers.

“I just want to influence change, as best possible, be active in it, let the kids see someone that looks like them,” Lopez said in an interview.

Founder Herb Chasan said the organization chose Lopez for the position because of his history with the community and the organization.

“He’s well known in the community,” Chasan said. “He’s got a track record... He’s a wonderful role model for the kids.”

In February, Hoops and Homework also officially opened its expanded facility at 12 A Interfaith Terrace. It operates another center at 9 Pusan Road.

Dedicated to the memory of the late local developer Kevin Giblin, a longtime supporter of the program, the building allows Hoops and Homework to triple the number of children it serves in its all-scholarship program. The expansion was made possible through donations from Capital Group Properties, Brendon Properties and The Flatley Company.

The new summer program will be open to children ages 5 through 14, with a heavy focus on academic support. But it won’t be all work and no play. Kids will also have enrichment activities including swimming, science lessons from the Massachusetts Audubon Society, and basketball. The program will take place both indoors and outdoors.

The program specifically targets children in Framingham’s low-income neighborhoods, and only local children who fall within certain income guidelines may participate.

Those interested in seeing if they qualify for the program can go to www.hoopsandhomeworkinc.com to apply.

For 10 years, this nonprofit has enriched underprivileged Framingham youth

FRAMINGHAM — Kevin Lopez knows firsthand how helpful a community resource like Hoops and Homework would have been for himself and his community when he was growing up in the neighborhood where he now works.

“I don’t really have words to describe what trouble I could have got out of having something like this in the area — not just me," said Lopez, who was hired last year as the nonprofit's program director. "My friends, my family, people that I know that were raised in the area definitely would have benefited from something like this.”

The enrichment and education program is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

Hoops and Homework is a neighborhood organization that serves more than 30 students ages 5-14 in two Southside locations — at 12 Interfaith Place and nearby 9 Pusan Road. Free of charge, students can get help with reading and homework or just hang out at the center and play outside. 

Decade of growth

Founder Herb Chasan was recently awarded the Framingham Senior Heroes award in recognition for his work in after-school and summer programs for Framingham youth. Chasan has seen the enrichment and education program grow a lot in the past decade, from scrounging for donations to staying afloat to more recently accepting six-figure donations.  

Chasan and Lopez share some key goals for the organization's next 10 years: expanding the ages they serve, creating more of a community center vibe by keeping the centers open and staffed later in the evenings and expanding their offerings within Framingham and beyond.

Hoops and Homework will be piloting some youth night programs this summer for ages 14 and up to “get a feel for the interest and strategize around that,” Lopez said. It's currently using operating funds but is also preparing to apply for grants to help fund the expanded hours for older youths.

“Staying alive for 10 years, it was a big accomplishment,” Chasan said. “We’re still going strong. We have two full programs — right now summer programs — and during the year it’s after-school programs.”

Hoops and Homework began in 2012 with $81,000 in funding secured through Town Meeting — before Framingham had adopted a city form of government. After the first year, the organization had to depend on donations but because it was new, few people knew it existed.

Eventually, Hoops and Homework began getting grants and larger donations and Chasan said the organization is now financially sustainable.

It has built a basketball court, a new learning center and playground. It's the only community center after-school program in the city that is licensed by the state.

A 'catchy' name

Chasan said he came up with the name when he was talking to Mary Ellen Kelly, then Framingham's chief financial officer.

“She said, ‘Well, you’ve got to help them with their homework. You’ve got to keep them busy and sports would be good, too,’” Chasan said. They combined the two: “sports in terms of hoops, basketball — and (Hoops and Homework) is catchy.”

Lopez said it's important not just for the kids participating in the program but for people in the community to see a person of color directing Hoops and Homework.

“I saw this as an opportunity for me to step in and be that face that kids can look up to,” he said. “For me to come up from that area and now lead an organization like that speaks volumes without me even opening my mouth.”

Lopez said the organization now has staff and volunteers that reflect the diversity of the area. He said he has drawn on his background as assistant dean at Keefe Regional Technical School and as a youth program coordinator and program manager at various organizations as he looks to the next decade of Hoops and Homework.

“It is just that melting pot down there, so that was very nice that he can really get into it and link with the people and the parents and the kids,” Chasan said of Lopez. “He has a connection, growing up with those neighborhoods down there.”

Framingham's Hoops and Homework has a 'catch' in program director Kevin Lopez

FRAMINGHAM — The newest program director at local nonprofit Hoops and Homework once wanted to be a police officer.

“The reason why was to impact the community,” Kevin Lopez said.

Instead, he threw himself into working directly with local students. A graduate of Framingham’s Keefe Technical High School, he went on to become assistant to the dean there, a youth program coordinator at Framingham High School, a Boys & Girls Club camp director and program manager at Skills USA, a program focused on getting students into successful trade jobs.

“There are just so many different things,” said Herb Chasan, founder of Hoops and Homework, of the reasons the organization hired Lopez. “He just seemed like just a super, super catch.”

Hoops and Homework is an after-school academic and enrichment program for children in some of Framingham’s poorest neighborhoods. Lopez knows the area because he had family there growing up, and said it’s where he would hang out over the summer.

“He knows the neighborhood,” Chasan said. “That’s a big deal for us. A big deal.”

Lopez is fluent in Spanish, a key skill in connecting with the neighborhood, where, according to Hoops and Homework, 75% of its students identify as Hispanic.

In an interview with Chasan posted to the nonprofit’s website, Lopez said he and his friends used to talk about how to “not live the cycle” when they were teenagers — meaning, how to get out of the neighborhood and fulfill their potential.

“This was never around for me when I was younger, and I wish it was,” he said of Hoops and Homework.

Lopez wants to focus on bringing in positive role models to talk with students, to help them “see the world outside this neighborhood.”

“I’d like them to see a lot more people that are successful that look like them, that can relate to them,” he said, “that come from the same socio-economic class. That’s a part of my goal moving forward.”

He also hopes to reach out to the city’s high schools and recent high school graduates to find mentors and tutors.

“I think the more exposure to positive vibes, experiences, outlooks, the better it is for students,” Lopez said. “We have to educate our kids to start viewing themselves as an asset instead of their living situation as a deficit.”

Lopez said he’d like to see Hoops and Homework grow beyond its two locations in Framingham, and even expand outside the city someday.

“The model’s unique,” he said of the academic piece, combined with play. “I haven’t seen it outside of an extended day program at a school.”
