Children of Charleston

As you know, for my campaign project I envisioned this small tutoring program in Chalreston run by EIU students. Although this program doesnt exist, I created a lot of media for it.

Here is some of the information I included on my website.

Home Page: Children of Charleston is a new foundation originated to help educate children in Charleston, Illinois. What started off as small after school tutoring program for the local junior high, has now evolved to a rather large charity aimed at helping students of all ages with their school endeavors as well as a scholarship program for 5 graduating high school seniors looking to attend Eastern Illinois University. What makes us so special is that we were founded by EIU students who were just hoping to help out their community and now can say they really did change the lives of many students in Charleston. We hope to continue our tradition for years to come, and hope you can help us, help educate.

Services:
Our tutoring program has reached dozens of childrens lives in the short period we have been operating. We tutor in Math, Science, and English in open regular sessions, and can help with other subjects upon request.
We currently are servicing:
Charleston Bridges School- Grades 7 to 12
Charleston Middle School- Grades 7 & 8
Charleston High School- Grades 9 to 12
Mattoon Middle School- Grades 7 & 8

We are hoping to expand our services to other local school in Charleston and Mattoon, as well as the Ashmore and Learna Communities. Maybe you can help us reach this goal!
