Project Success, the Danville-based group which provides after-school programming to students in the Danville area, is expanding its reach to include all of the schools in the Hoopeston Area district.
The organization recently received a grant from the Illinois State Board of Education in order to expand its offerings. It has already been at the Hoopeston Area Middle School, but will now also be at the high school, John Greer and Maple grade schools.
The grant will bring an additional $525,200 per year to Vermilion County, totaling more than $2.6 million during the five-year grant cycle. The funding also will allow Project Success to increase staffing and add four new full-time positions and more than 30 part-time positions.
The expanded 21st Century Community Learning Center programming will provide educational supports to more than 150 additional Vermilion County students. Educational supports will include homework help, tutoring, credit recovery, enrichment programming, parent programming and education, and much more.
With the addition of the Hoopeston Area School District, Project Success will now provide after school and summer programming at 18 Vermilion County schools and the Laura Lee Fellowship House, which serves three Danville schools.
Anyone interested in enrolling their student in one of the free after school programs or for more information, please contact Project Success at (217) 446-3200.
