Eastport Girls Club
Launches Seeds 4 Success, Inc.
Eastport Girls Club (EGC) officially announced its incorporation and filing for 501(c)(3) status under Seeds 4 Success, Inc. The new program was launched at a fundraising event, Cocktails for a Cause, in October 2011. “ECA gave us our first $500 in 2008 and we are very grateful for your continued support and funding,” said Helena Hunter, Board President.
Seeds 4 Success' mission is to foster success for low-income families and children living in the Annapolis by securing, leveraging, and advocating for services that help ensure youth and families achieve their full potential. EGC will continue as a program under S4S. Future plans for expansion to meet the mission include: tutoring for younger boys and girls, a boys' club, and parent education and support programs. | Read more
Needs Volunteer Mentors & Tutors
Eastport Girls Club (EGC) is actively seeking women interested in making a commitment of 6-8 hours per month to become a mentor to one of our girls.
We ask for no less than a one year commitment as there is so much for you to learn from our girls and for them to learn from you. Most time requirements can be accomplished during afternoons, evenings or weekends and will adjust to your parenting/work schedules. Plus, EGC will provide training and support for mentors.
Think it over. You could begin a relationship to last a lifetime! If interested, please contact Christy D'Camera at 410-280-2866 or send Christy an email: cdcamera@verizon.net. | Read more
