A Very Happy Mom...
A mom raved about the impact the After School Program has had on her fifth grader. Not only are her grades getting better, but her entire attitude toward academics – and her personality – has turned around. Mom said the arguments and fighting have become fewer and fewer. The student is starting to feel better about herself because she is seeing success in school.

Work in Progress...
A first grader who is considered by parent as “a work in progress” has improved in all areas. “Hopefully he will continue to do so with your help.” This is his second year in the Empowering program. Contact us a "Sign Up" at the top of this page.

Opportunity of a Lifetime...
“They (the students) impacted my life as much as I hope I did theirs. The best thing about doing this tutoring program is knowing that I may have helped a child increase their grade and to be proud of it. Being a part of Greenville's Empowering After School Tutoring Program was an opportunity of a lifetime.” Edison State Student

A Wonderful Experience...
“I enjoyed being there to help the children when they needed me. Seeing how happy they were when they finally figured out how to solve their math problems was great. It was a very wonderful experience." Edison State Student
