Urgent Need

NOVA needs Math Tutors

NOVA has 15 participants in the Certified Manufacturing Specialist Program. They will complete the first phase of the program next week. The second phase is scheduled to begin April 6.

The second phase (Computer Numerical Control) is a computer based class with heavy emphasis on math. Some of our participants struggled with the math in the first phase. Those students will need tutoring in math to continue in the program. This is where the Interfaith Family can play a vital role in their success.

Any one with a good grasp of math who is willing to help--NOVA needs you!

Time is of the essence. Without tutoring some of our participants are marginal for acceptance into the second phase of the training program. NOVA hopes to have math instruction ready to start by March 23. The maximum number of students requiring assistance is 9 (this number includes 5 NOVA participants and 4 non-NOVA participants).

Please contact Juanita Woods at NOVA or refer your math competent friends: 362-3395
