Project Leadership’s Dick Daniel and Julie McGee motivated community members to be a part of Project Leadership’s programming for youths during a recent Muncie on the Move event. Daniel highlighted Delaware County’s soaring Twenty-first Century Scholar enrollment increase – from 28% in 2009 to 80% in 2011. McGee shared inspirational quotes from mentors who explained how local lives are being impacted.
Dozens of students remain on waiting lists for the mentoring programs in Delaware and Grant counties. To mentor in Delaware County call 765-747-5250 or in Grant County, 765-651-0650.

#1: It takes an hour. There’s a lot you can do in an hour. Wash a load of clothes, make a trip to the grocery or organize your kitchen utensil drawer. But doesn’t hanging out with an inspirational Grant County high school student sound like a LOT more fun?

#2: You will make a difference. A serious difference. An attendance study at one of our local high schools showed that Twenty-first Century Scholars who are mentored had a daily school attendance rate that was twice as good as those not being mentored.

#3: Everyone needs encouragers — ones that come from a range of backgrounds and experiences. You’ve made some mistakes in your life and have learned from them. Now, it’s time to pass those lessons on to students who are ready to learn from you.
Project Leadership will be presenting FAFSA Labs in partnership with the National Center for College Costs at all high schools in Delaware and Grant Counties during the month of February.
Labs begin at the beginning of the school day and will run until 7 p.m. each evening.
