A Birthday Milestone
In addition to tutoring, mentoring, and organizing exciting educational outings, Mentors at many Path To Shine locations go the extra mile to celebrate birthdays.
Ellen, a volunteer at Path To Shine- Marietta reports that Maria and her peers enjoyed her birthday cake very much. Ellen further reports that on program evaluation forms, children write that they love birthday parties at Path To Shine because they are often "too busy to celebrate at home."
When Path To Shine celebrates children, we go big! Mentors in many of our locations throw a lively party and provide a birthday cake at our program location, and some Mentors even send our children home with a "birthday bag" that includes everything needed to create a superb birthday celebration at home.
