Community Outreach

We've been busy these past few weeks!

First, on October 5th, we attended the Scotland County Job and Community Fair. The fair was a success, drawing more than 300 job searchers. Nearly 50 employers were on hand to accept applications. There were also a number of vendors offering services to help people gain employment. We signed up a number of people that were interested in our services, making this a success for us.

Then, on October 13, we visited the John Blue Cotton Festival where we gained exposure by holding a coloring contest for children. With more than 10,000 people at the festival, we feel this was a strong effort towards recruiting tutors. We passed out a number of coloring books to children and had 56 entries in our coloring contest. We only signed up one persdon to tutor, but a number of others are mulling over whether they have time to volunteer and are considering tutoring.

Over the next few weeks, we hope to enroll new students and tutors from these efforts. Only time will tell how successful we really were, but we remain confident and look forward to seeing the results.
