AVID seeks
volunteer tutors

Advancement Via Individual Determination seeks volunteers to facilitate weekly tutoring sessions Tuesdays and Thursdays at Kealakehe High School.

Tutors are essential to the AVID elective class. They encourage student success in advanced courses, giving them the support and confidence needed for achievement. AVID brings out the best in students and helps to close achievement gaps.

Training is provided. College students may tutor as part of a work-study program. Call Connie Simon at 327-4300, ext. 2436 or email connie_simon@notes.k12.hi.us.
