Youth Worker Trainings

Mathematics instruction is a daunting task, and even those who are well trained in providing youth services may have trouble effectively leading mathematics intervention.  MathPOWER offers a number of trainings designed to help youth workers from varied programmatic settings increase their impact, by giving them the tools they need to teach math well.
