The volunteer directors of the Educational Enrichment Foundation are prominent members of the Kent County community. Through an annual grant program, focused on projects held beyond the school year and school day, the EEF has enhanced the educational experiences of many Kent County children. Extended day programs have been demonstrated to promote marked academic success in students of all ability levels. Extra instructional time gives students an opportunity to make vast improvements over their regularly scheduled lessons. The correlation is simple, these programs give children more time with teachers and in turn they learn more.
