Volunteering at our "Character Day" with our middle school students is a rewarding opportunity to make a direct impact on the development of young minds. During this special event, we engage students in a variety of activities designed to instill the values of character and integrity.

As a volunteer, you'll have the chance to connect with students in meaningful ways, whether through leading discussions, facilitating team-building exercises, or sharing personal stories that inspire and resonate. Your involvement not only enriches the educational experience of our students but also reinforces the importance of character development in their lives. Join us for Character Day and become a catalyst for positive change in our school community.

We usually host this in the Fall of the year.  If you are interested in working with our fifth graders from DECA Middle please email, Jenny Schade-Taylor at jschade@daytonearlycollege.org

Our annual Lives Changed Luncheon at Sinclair Community College is a cherished tradition where our community comes together to reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate the incredible journey we've embarked upon together. Set against the backdrop of camaraderie and appreciation, this event serves as a moment of reflection, reminding us of the profound impact education has on transforming lives.

As we gather around tables laden with delicious fare, we're reminded of the unwavering support of our dedicated supporters, valued community partners, and dear friends who stand alongside us in our mission. It's a time to express our heartfelt gratitude for their continued commitment and to reaffirm our collective dedication to the belief that education is indeed a powerful catalyst for change. 

We host our Luncheon the spring of each year.  If you would like to host a table, please contact Jenny Schade-Taylor at jschade@daytonearlycollege.org. 

Getting involved with our "Senior Send Off" is a meaningful way to make a direct impact on the lives of our graduating students as they transition to college. Many of our students lack the necessary support systems to adequately prepare for this next chapter in their lives. By participating in our Senior Send Off initiative, you can help ease their transition and provide essential items they may otherwise go without.

Each graduate receives a thoughtful care package including practical essentials like a laundry basket, sheets, towels, shower caddy, over-the-door organizer, LED lights, power strip, and a small fan, along with a $75 Walmart gift card to assist with additional needs.

Your involvement in this program ensures that our students have the tools and resources they need to thrive as they embark on their college journey. Join us in supporting our graduates and empowering them to achieve their dreams. To join, contact Jenny Schade-Taylor at jschade@daytonearlycollege.org
