Accelerate Northfield VISTA
Help make sure all Northfield children are learning superheroes! Acc
elerate Northfield (AN), a new volunteer recruitment and training pilot, was launched in Northfield Public Schools during the 2011-12 school year. AN is a collaboration of parents, community organizations, schools and local colleges working together to close the achievement gap and ensure that K-5 students are making gains in literacy and numeracy so they can perform at grade level in reading and math. The VISTA will help recruit and support tutors from across the community to work directly with low-income elementary youth to help improve their success in school.
