> ***Cambridge School Volunteers (CSV)*
> *Need for Tutors in Math and Science for Cambridge K- 12 students*
>
> The Cambridge School Volunteers (CSV), an independent non-profit
> organization, has helped Cambridge K-12 students since 1966 by
> providing dedicated volunteer tutors and mentors.
>
> At present, only about 50% of Cambridge School Students are considered
> proficient in math and science. This statistic is alarming considering
> the high need for leaders in the STEM job sector. This is not just an
> education issue. This is a community issue, and YOU can help!
>
> How? For as little as one hour per week you can tutor a student and
> make a huge difference! CSV provides ongoing training and can connect
> you to a variety of support programs.
>
> We would love to have MASS AWIS members and members of other
> organizations get involved in the local Cambridge community through CSV!
>
> If you're ready to sign up or want to learn more, please contact Kasey
> Appleman, Director of K-8 School Volunteers, at kappleman at cpsd.us
> <mailto:kappleman at cpsd.us> or by calling (617) 349-6794.
> To sign up for an Orientation.

> *Volunteers needed for the Lawrence Program*
> SCFG fosters excitement, confidence and literacy in STEM for girls,
> particularly from underrepresented communities, by providing free,
> experiential programs and by maximizing meaningful interactions with
> women mentors in science, technology, engineering & mathematics.
> The SCFG Lawrence Program is recruiting volunteers who can be mentors
> to our Kindergarten to 5th grade young girls at South Lawrence East
> and Spark Academy. We encourage college and graduate students,
> professionals and friends to take the opportunity to bring the wonders
> of STEM education to these young girls. You will not only make a huge
> impact on their education, but you will have a ton of fun as well!
