stressful feelings, and how to direct your thoughts and energy into
pursuits that bring you more success and joy. This workshop will be led
by Dr. Samantha Sutton of Samantha Sutton, Ph.D. Life Solutions

***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.
