LongviewMATH!: Where Business Meets Education
LongviewMATH! pairs business leaders with real needs in local schools & nonprofits.
LongviewMATH! is a chamber-powered initiative that pairs local business leaders with real needs in Longview’s schools and nonprofits – all in the name of stronger math skills and a stronger workforce.
We essentially act as a matchmaking service, connecting classrooms and community programs that need support with businesses that want to make a difference. Whether it’s volunteers to tutor students, professionals to mentor youth, or funding for hands-on math initiatives, LongviewMATH! bridges the gap between potential and impact.
Why it matters
Our local economy depends on a future workforce that’s strong in math, equipped to solve problems, and ready for the challenges of tomorrow. But too many kids fall behind early and never catch up. That’s where business leaders come in – not just as funders, but as mentors, role models, and partners in shaping Longview’s future.
How it works
We work directly with schools and local nonprofits to identify needs and connect you, our business community, to meet those needs.
Together, we’re not just helping kids with homework. We’re building a pipeline of future engineers, technicians, manufacturers, tradespeople and analysts
Tutors
One-on-one or small group tutoring helps students strengthen their skills, ask questions in a safe setting, and build confidence in their math abilities.
Classroom Support
Teachers benefit from extra hands in the classroom to help with small groups, answering questions, or providing encouragement during lessons.
Incentives
Motivating rewards like a pizza party, prize drawings, or fun experiences encourage students to stay engaged and celebrate their progress in math.
