Empowering Darke County Youth, a United Way Partner Agency, offers tutoring support for students, K-6, through a variety of programs, ranging from the After School Program in fall and spring to Reading and Tutoring Programs in the summer.

“We are not currently taking new tutoring applications,” said Program Coordinator Bob Robinson, “however we invite parents to bring their children to our Summer Reading Program at Edison State College, Darke County Campus.”
Empowering is still working on scheduling over 70 requests for one-on-one tutoring, but students can receive help from volunteers in the Reading Program, not only for reading but also grammar and math. The program sessions are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5:30 and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The 501c3 organization is still short of its budgeted goal for the summer. Donations would be appreciated to Empowering Darke County Youth, PO Box 1113, Greenville 45331. Volunteers to the Reading program on the Edison campus are always welcome.

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.
