Empowering
Darke County Youth to hold Annual Meeting
GREENVILLE – Empowering Darke County Youth will hold its third annual
meeting on March 7, 7 p.m. at Tribute Funeral Homes, Greenville Campus,
1000 N. Broadway. The meeting is open to the public. In addition, the
Empowering Board of Directors would like to consider applications from
the public to fill two new Board vacancies.
“We want to expand our skill sets,” said Empowering President Eric Fee.
“We need people who are experienced in administration, fundraising,
marketing, promotion… or just simply wanting to help in any way they
can.
“If you don’t feel comfortable working with kids in a tutoring
environment, that’s okay. Whether you would like to sit on the board or
just volunteer your time, if you consider our kids a top priority in
Darke County, we want you!”
The Empowering After School Tutoring Program at Greenville K-8
continues to grow each year. Requests for help have more than tripled
since 2016.
“We have no reason to believe the requests won’t continue to grow,”
said Bob Robinson, Program Coordinator. “Teachers and support personnel
are targeting students who need the extra support after school, as well
as advising the areas they need help in. It’s a team effort… the
beneficiaries are our kids and our community.”
The March annual meeting is an ideal time for anyone interested in
learning more about the Empowering Darke County Youth programs. A brief
overview of Empowering programs, as well as current challenges and
successes will be provided.
