TJ Shockley,
director
REACH Higher Program |
Grant funds will be used to provide a week-long learning experience
for low-income and under-educated women and children in Warren
and neighboring counties. On Western Kentucky University's campus,
participants will participate in workshops and teambuilding activities
that incorporate the arts, creativity, self-expression, and that
will enhance self-esteem and increase awareness about the community
and civic engagement.
Women who
participate in the Camp will be those who qualify for food stamps,
Medicaid, welfare, or who live below the poverty line. The Bowling
Green Housing Authority will recommend women from their Reach
Higher program (a welfare-to-work program) and our Selection Committee
will ensure diversity among the women selected.
Because WKLT
must be free to participants, we seek funding from sponsors who
are committed to improving the lives of low-income and under-educated
women and their children. If you are interested in giving to WKLT,
please contact Mary Ellen
Miller. |
