  • A Message from Northfield High School

    My name is Martha Schultz and I work for the Northfield High School through AmeriCorps. My main job is to set up high school students with tutors and mentors. I have developed a program called Grow Success and have recruited many volunteers, however I am lacking volunteer tutors who have strengths in the sciences. If any physics students would be interested in tutoring high school students for just one hour per week, please let me know. Here is my contact information for any students/staff who
    are interested in tutoring:
