How we serve
Roberta Tyler Handy Mentoring and Education (EMCEE) Program
More than 75 students have expressed an interest in this program. We held a fundraising event called Grand-me’re Honors and EMCEE Awards in 2021 with more than 250 people in attendance to launch this program and bring awareness of the need to mentor young high school girls ages 14 and up. We started with three girls enrolled and receiving an award. This program is especially for young girls…we are now actively recruiting participants as the program will officially begin an eight-week sessions starting March 1, 2024. An interest meeting was held with potential participants and their parents, and applications are now being accepted. We anticipate beginning with a minimum of 10 to 15 students.
