Mentoring Minds, a Leading Provider of Educational Resources for K-12 Nationwide, Donates to Local and National Organizations
Tyler, Texas (PRWEB) June 20, 2014 -- The employees of Mentoring Minds have a spirit to serve and share. It’s more than just part of a mission statement or policy; it’s actually part of the Mentoring Minds’ ethos. Because of a shared passion for helping others, Mentoring Minds created a program for service called MindSHARE. MindSHARE encourages the team at Mentoring Minds to be active members and volunteers in the community. Employee-nominated organizations are evaluated by the employee-based MindSHARE committee on several factors such as employee involvement and organizational reach. On Wednesday, the MindSHARE committee awarded five organizations with funds topping $10,000 to assist the non-profits’ missions.
Awards were given to:
• Champions for Children, an organization that designs and implements programs to help at-risk children, parents, and childcare workers. More information can be found at http://www.championsforchildren.org.
• CASA of East Texas, a local chapter of a national network of volunteers standing up for the rights of abused and neglected children. Visit http://www.casaforchildren.org for more information.
