Serving Springfield With LOVE
Welcome From Jennifer Helfrich
I want to introduce myself as the new Program Director for Action Centered Tutoring. The former Director retired at the end of 2025, so I am now taking up the responsibility for running, expanding, and improving ACTS programs.
We were able to say a warm farewell and express our thanks to the former Director, Dr. Headly, upon her retirement. ACTS is grateful to Barbara for her work in re-opening programs that closed during the pandemic, and for the progress she made in expanding programming.
