You could make a difference. As a community group or as an individual, you are needed.
YOU can make a difference by supporting EMYS.
- More caring adults are needed as a tutors and mentors. You can volunteer just a couple hours a week and make a BIG difference in a student’s life.
- EMYS could also use help with a website, office work, and fundraising. Contact Bruce, 828-629-9276, ext. 10124.
The Madison Team Success program at Madison Middle and High schools served over 105 referred students last year, providing tutoring and mentoring services during the school day and using 18 community volunteers. This program, funded through a grant from the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC), serves students who were referred to us by the Juvenile Court system, teachers, guidance councilors and parents. These students were either adjudicated youth or were in jeopardy of failing or dropping out of school.
How can I get started?
There’s nothing to it. Simply call or e-mail either of the program Directors or call the Executive Director of EMYS. We love to talk to volunteers wanting to make a difference in our community. We don’t mind questions and work hard at making this a great experience for you; after all, all of us have been volunteers ourselves.
