Empowering receives grant from Reynolds & Reynolds Associate Foundation
Tutoring non-profit begins its fifth year of support for academically at-risk students
GREENVILLE – Empowering Darke County Youth has received a major grant
from Reynolds and Reynolds Associate Foundation for its After School,
Summer and Distance tutoring programs.
“We are grateful to the Associates at Reynolds and Reynolds Foundation
for their support,” said Bob Robinson, Executive Director for
Empowering Darke County Youth. “This has been a tough time for our
community, and especially our kids. Their gift will make a big
difference when our on-site programs kick off again this fall.”
Reynolds and Reynolds Associate Foundation was formed in 1956 and today
is the oldest associate-run charitable foundation in the United States.
Its focus includes a wide variety of charitable support, including
at-risk youth, literacy, health, veterans and more. Located in
Montgomery County, the foundation serves Montgomery and its seven
surrounding counties.
Empowering Darke County Youth is preparing for its fifth year of
providing after school tutoring support for students who are
academically at risk. Programs will be starting in October for
Greenville, Ansonia and Arcanum-Butler school districts. Limited
additional support may be available through tutoring at the Greenville
Library or online at Empowering Distance.
“Our communities support our kids,” Robinson said. “We are always
looking for volunteers who want to help as we work to eradicate
illiteracy in Darke County. And of course, donations are gratefully
accepted.”
Empowering mailing address is P.O. Box 1113, Greenville, Ohio 45331.
