We’d like to thank Antioch Community Foundation for their support. The grant we received has helped Be Exceptional expand its services. The focus areas for the grant included:
- Youth Services – specific activities/projects that benefit children/youth, including programs in academics, sports/athletics, and fine arts; at risk youth support (counseling, mentoring, healthy lifestyles); pre-school reading readiness; and programs that support positive and successful parenting skills
- Economic Security and Health – programs/services that strengthen employment/skills training, increase access to health and nutrition, and support local hiring and job creation, particularly for hard to serve and underserved populations, including transitional age foster youth, low income, veterans, reentry, disabled, and homeless populations
- Community Services – broad category of public benefit activities, such as activities focusing on clean communities, public safety, and neighborhood beautification; programs and services supporting seniors and frail elderly; recreation, arts and culture; and community events that strengthen civic pride
