Zechar
Bailey Funeral Home Continues Empowering support
GREENVILLE - Empowering students and tutors join in thanking Zechar
Bailey Funeral Home for its continuing support of their tutoring
programs. Presenting the check to Empowering Volunteer Coordinator
Chelsea Jones is Greg Zechar.
Zechar Bailey has a history of supporting programs to improve services
to residents of the community. Its donation will help purchase supplies
and snacks, as well as bring in licensed tutors and teachers to work
with and oversee Edison State and adult volunteers.
Since its inception in March 2016, Empowering programs have provided
over 6,000 contact hours to more than 200 students. The programs have
elicited dozens of success stories for students who have taken
consistent advantage of the services available to them. The Empowering
program, along with the efforts of teachers and support staff, has been
proven to show greater student improvement, or growth, than for those
not in the program.
Help is still needed to finish the current school year and prepare for
the Summer Tutoring Program. Anyone interested in helping, either
tutoring or with program support or donations, should contact
empoweringdarkecountyyouth@gmail.com or Facebook Empowering Darke
County Youth. If you would like more information, mark your calendar to
join other volunteers Thursday, April 19 at 7 p.m., Tribute Funeral
Home Greenville, 1000 N. Broadway for the next Empowering Volunteer
Meeting.
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.
