Mission
Statement: To encourage and remediate at-risk children.
The Inner-city Kids
Empowerment Program is a full time, after school tutoring program. The
program operates during the hours of 2:45 to 6:00 PM, Monday through
Thursday. Children are referred to the IKE Tutoring Program by their
public school teachers who partner with the IKE team (Staff and
Volunteers) assuring the specific needs of the children are met. These
teachers also monitor the children's progress and advise the IKE team
where help is needed.
ORGANIZATION FUNDING
IKE Services is a 501c3
(tax-exempt) organization with a SEPARATE CHARTER AND SEPARATE
ACCOUNTING from the parent organization. If you would like to make a
tax-deductible contribution, please designate on your check "for IKE
Services", and your contribution will specifically be used for IKE, and
nothing else. Send checks to: IKE Services, Inc. ; P.O. Box 3533 ;
Lebanon, TN 37087. Examples of use of donations: supplies (books,
paper, pencils, copier supplies, etc.), facilities costs (telephone,
utilities, etc.), one full-time staff.
In
1998 funding for the IKE Tutoring Program began with funding in the
form of a declining grant from the Tennessee Commission on Children and
Youth. This was for 3 years and only partially covered the cost of
running the program. The year 2000/2001 has ended this funding.
Contributors are needed to make up for the loss.
