Empowering to
hold first volunteer meeting
GREENVILLE – Empowering Darke County Youth will be holding a volunteer
organizational meeting at Tribute Funeral Homes Greenville, 1000 N.
Broadway, Thursday, March 22 at 7 p.m.
“Our kids are the future of our community,” said Melissa Eve, Assistant
Program Coordinator. “If you agree, then come help us. We have a job
for you!”
She added Empowering Darke County Youth needs volunteer tutors, but
acknowledges not everyone is comfortable in that role. The program also
needs people willing to help plan and conduct fundraising events,
recruit volunteers and spread the word through social media and
personal contacts.
“I believe we’ve had a huge impact on our community,” said Empowering
President Eric Fee. “We’ve made some great strides working with kids
who need help, through our Edison State and adult volunteers, but the
need is still greater than our ability to meet it.
“We’ve just started,” he continued, “but we can’t do it alone. We need
your help.”
“Stop in, join us for a light snack, and find out what you can do to
help,” said Bob Robinson, Program Coordinator. “We had to start a
waiting list for our After School Program last fall and it still exists
today…
“Help us make sure no child has to wait for help in the future. See you
at the meeting… and thanks!”
The Empowering Mission: Empowering Darke County Youth is a United Way
Partner Agency providing After School and Summer Tutoring programs to
assist students in the areas of language arts and math with the goal of
Strong Students for a Strong Community.
