gets
donations for Agency Information Mgmt System
The Harry
Stephens Memorial recently made a donation of $1,000 to Big Brothers
Big
Sisters of Shelby and Darke County.
Additionally,
the Greenville
Rotary donated $500.00 to the local agency. Both of these donations are
specific to the Darke County program and will assist the agency in the implementation of a new
Agency Information
Management System.
This system
which is mandated by our national
office, will help us produce greater agency efficiency.
AIM is a technology platform that
supports
agency performance. This
new system will
assure the timeliness of our services and help measure the quality of
our match
relationships. As a result of the above AIM will provide us with
valuable data
that will in turn demonstrate positive outcomes in the lives of those
children
that we serve. The
annual fee for the
software is also tied in to the number of children that we serve each
year and
last year alone the agency served 208 children in the Darke County area.
Mentoring
programs provide support, activities, education, and most importantly,
a mentor
for children who may be considered at-risk of an abusive environment. The children involved in
this program have
the opportunity to engage in fun, social and academic enrichment
activities
with the interaction of their mentor.
It
is our goal to teach these children, through their relationship with
their mentor,
skills in managing life in a high-risk environment.
Thanks to
generous donations like that from the Harry Stephens Memorial
Foundation and
Greenville Rotary matches in Darke County area continue to grow and
help keep
affecting children in a positive way.
