成人快播 Charleston to collaborate with the offices of both Mayor Joe Riley of Charleston and Mayor Keith Summey of North Charleston this year
成人快播 Charleston is proud to continue Charleston Volunteers for Literacy鈥檚 tradition of building robust community partnerships to support our mission. We are particularly excited to collaborate with the offices of both Mayor Joe Riley of Charleston and Mayor Keith Summey of North Charleston this year.
For the 2013-14 program year, Mayor Riley鈥檚 office has given invaluable assistance in increasing our program鈥檚 capacity by providing us with two AmeriCorps VISTA members to work with 成人快播 Charleston during their year of service. One of our VISTA members will serve as an Outreach Architect to develop volunteer partnerships and recruit new tutors throughout Charleston, while the other will be placed as a Community Builder to manage our Reading Center at Julian Mitchell Elementary. This additional capacity at Mitchell Elementary has allowed us to transform the Reading Center from a part-time site to a full-time site this year, increasing the number of students served from 30 to 50, and increasing the number of volunteer tutors from 60 to 100. Additionally, Mayor Summey鈥檚 office has awarded 成人快播 a $10,000 grant, which will help us deepen our impact across the region and serve an additional 100 students overall.
