Education Programs

ESC volunteers who work within the three components of our Education Program serve individuals by being teacher, role model, adult friend, mentor, and counselor. Education Programs include:

1. The Mentor Program, through which ESC volunteers provide guidance to young people, initially in a group setting and then one-on-one, with the purpose of encouraging largely disadvantaged youth to continue their education.

2. The Job Preparation Workshop Program, consisting of workshops and practice job interviews that assist individuals who will be immediately entering the work force after graduation or assisting those individuals who are returning to the workforce after a hiatus, or maybe even assisting someone who is getting a job for the first time.

3. The Science Comes Alive! Program, bringing hands-on methods of learning and exploring science into schools, and assisting schools and students with science fairs. We have developed a Science Resource Manual for teachers! 

One of the primary goals is to minimize the negative effects of the environments in which young people and many adults today may find themselves, and to encourage them to succeed in school, at work, and in life.

ESC's Education Programs give area youth and adults access to individuals with diverse backgrounds; those who know the road to achievement because they've been there; those who care; and those who have the commitment to give back to the community.

These programs are available to elementary, middle, and high school students and to other education-related organizations. Our intergenerational approach also encourages the preservation of past values and traditions, opening the lines of communication with the leaders of tomorrow.

Since 1984, our Education Programs have touched nearly 80,000 young lives for the better!
