 The Penguins have a special long-standing partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania.Both organizations have joined forces to provide at-risk, inner-city children with an after-school tutoring program titled “Power Hour.” The program is designed to improve academic performance for children experiencing difficulty at their local schools. The overall goal is to ensure upward movement for each child through the educational system. The Penguins provide a variety of incentives for the children to obtain by earning points for completing homework assignments and reaching specific goals. The “Power Hour” after school program has proved quite successful at the local Boys & Girls Clubs. |
