Empowering
Darke County Youth offers “distance learning" support
DARKE COUNTY – Until current health concerns have dissipated, Distance
Learning is the new normal adopted by school districts, colleges and
other education-oriented agencies. Empowering Darke County Youth is now
offering an opportunity for caregivers to discover a variety of
“in-home” activities and some basic learning support services for their
children needing additional help.
Empowering is a free non-profit service not affiliated with local
school districts. Lesson plans provided by the student’s teachers
always have priority and MUST be completed first. Once that has been
done, Empowering Darke County Youth can offer a variety of home
activities and academic practice to keep your child occupied and
learning, especially those still struggling with the basics.
Empowering Distance is “open for business.” Simply email
empoweringdistance101@gmail.com and make a request. What does your
child need? Math? Grammar skills? Other learning opportunities? We can
supply skills practice for math, work with students on grade level
reading and spelling words, set up exercises putting grade level words
into sentences or paragraphs, and more. We will also be happy to
provide activity ideas that are both fun and learning-based, as well as
online links to free or low-cost resources. Whatever you need for your
child, we will provide if we can.
Empowering Darke County Youth was formed in 2016 and as of December
2019 has provided more than 17,000 hours of academic support to 736
students throughout Darke County. Empowering works with students
needing additional academic support through After School and Summer
Tutoring Programs.
All Empowering services are free and are available for students
throughout Darke County, regardless of their school district. Remember,
however, the student’s district assignments MUST be completed first,
just as they would during the normal school day.
The Empowering Mission: Empowering Darke County Youth is a 501c3 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.

Ohio 45331. For our online student help, email

like to receive.
