However, if you commit to the club, we are sure that a rewarding match can be made in relatively short order. We are also advocates for a students. Any skill or special opportunity you can offer is most welcome. Most of the special activities listed above originated at the suggestion of a tutor. We also need help financially.
Individual contributions are welcome.
Most of the Club's budget comes from the New York Avenue Church which also provides the club's space free of charge. The church contributes severalhundred dollars per member and really cannot do more. Yet, financial difficulties are perhaps the most common reason why our students end their studies, and we would love to be able to do more for them. We now have a good track record of getting our students through high school, but unfortunately college graduation is still the exception rather than the rule. If you know of a business or foundation that would prefer to give through a foundation, the New York Avenue Foundation has as one of its express purposes helping the students in this program, and its board members would be more than willing to talk to you about your ideas.
