Kids Learning Center Will Open Saturday
The Nova Community Foundation will open a learning center Saturday for children who live in the Tara Village Apartment Community.
Students can use the center to get help with their homework or brush up on reading, math, computer skills, geography and other subjects. Services are free.
At the Novaland Learning Center, staff members and volunteers aim to help students through school and into college.
“We really strive to support our students, believe in our students, and help our students live their dreams,” said Kelly Huff, director of operations and staffing.
Only residents of the Lincoln Avenue apartments may use the center.
Nova has two other learning centers in Orange County. Riverside and San Bernardino counties each has one location.
Based in Newport Beach, the nonprofit agency uses volunteers and paid staff members to help children in lower-income groups, said Tamera De Gennaro, spokeswoman for the agency.
Students receive enhanced education, mentoring, tutoring and counseling. Center workers also work with the students’ families.
