Fresh Start Ministries to launch tutoring program
Fresh Start Ministries executive director recently informed me about a new mentoring/tutoring program they are starting with the financial aid from Inland Empire United Way.
The tutoring program will be held twice a week for students in the Ontario area that are in need of tutoring and mentoring, Hernandez said.
"We want to really help the underserved kids," he said.
Through a $2,500 grant from the Inland Empire United Way, Hernandez said they will be able to offer school supplies and snacks to attendees.
Aside from tutoring, Hernandez said he hopes to host some recreational activities for the students.
The program will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and will run for about 16 weeks. It is expected to start in two weeks, Hernandez said.
While there is limited space, parents interested are encouraged to contact Fresh Start Ministries to be added to a waiting list. Hernandez said if there is enough of a demand he will start a second session.
On Aug. 30 at 7 p.m., Hernandez will meet with all the parents and students that have signed up for the mentoring/tutoring program.
For more information call, 909-988-7942.
Fresh Start Ministries is at 1556 S. Sultana Ave. in Ontario.
