GREENVILLE – Wayne HealthCare Foundation has once again provided a grant to Empowering Darke County Youth to support its academic services to Darke County Youth. Making the presentation to Greenville Program Coordinator Kay Sloat in 2019 was Foundation Director Lauren Henry.
The Wayne HealthCare Foundation actively supports a healthy Darke County community, and understands the need for healthy minds as well as healthy bodies. This is the Foundation’s fourth year of support for Empowering students.
Empowering Darke County Youth conducts After School Tutoring programs in Greenville Elementary, Ansonia Elementary, and Arcanum-Butler Middle School. Summer Tutoring at Edison State Community College and the Greenville Public Library was not possible in 2020 due to the pandemic, but hopefully will return in 2021. Empowering also offers virtual learning through Empowering Distance. Since 2016, Empowering Darke County Youth has worked over 20,000 hours with 869 students throughout Darke County.
Empowering Darke County Youth is a 501c3 United Way Partner Agency providing year around tutoring programs to assist students in the areas of language arts and math with the goal of Strong Students for a Strong Community.
