The Native Education Project is looking for Native teachers to go on the Network's Homework Hotline. The Hotline will aid Native students in their studies during the school months.

Judy Pelly, program head, says they need more Native input into the program so Native students will benefit from being able to talk to someone familiar.

Pelly says the number of teachers ACCESS will be using depends on how many apply for the positions.

"We need teachers of Native ancestry so more Native students will call in for help in their studies," says Pelly.

The Homework Hotline is scheduled to start October 6 and run for 33 weeks. The show will be aired on channel ten every Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 6 and 7:30 p.m. The deadline for applications is August 7.
