Empowering program
seeks assistant coordinator, tutors
Empowering Darke County Youth is seeking an assistant program
coordinator, as well as two licensed or experienced tutors, to assist
with its After School and Summer Tutoring Programs.
“We’ve had tremendous support from the community, but the demand for
help still exceeded our ability to provide it,” said program
coordinator Bob Robinson. “We’re now in a position to bring in three
experienced educators to improve the delivery of our services and
hopefully reach more students.”
The After School Program had 89 requests for help during the original
sign-up in October, 10 more than had been helped the entire previous
year. Currently 65 students are enrolled, with another 35 on a waiting
list.
“Bringing in experienced people will help us more specifically target
individual needs and anticipate the best way to support the efforts of
the students’ teachers,” Robinson added. “The teacher leads the child’s
learning experience; our job is to provide help to the children who
still need more support.”
Eric Fee, president, Robinson, and Empowering Darke County Youth’s
Board of Directors wish to thank the community for its support.
Empowering is a United Way Partner Agency and continued donations and
grants from local organizations and businesses have made the additional
resources possible.
Interested individuals may email empoweringdarkecountyyouth@gmail.com,
query on the Empowering Darke County Youth Facebook page, or request
information at P.O. Box 1113, Greenville, Ohio 45331.
The Empowering Mission: Empowering Darke County Youth provides 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.
