The funds will provide support for the organization’s Education for Youth Program that prepares children for kindergarten, increases academic achievement and improves self-esteem and study habits. Components of the program include school readiness for 3 to 5 year-olds, after-school programs, teen leadership programs, and college and career preparation. The program supports more than 5,900 youths.

“We appreciate the generosity of our sponsors and internally have asked all of our staff members to strive to help raise at least $314 each so we can reach our goal,” said Project Access CEO and President Kristin Byrnes. To stir up excitement for the fundraiser, she said that various events and programs will be hosted at Project Access resource centers, including pie socials, math-related activities, and more.
