Special Programs for the Business Community
In addition to our core mentoring and tutoring programs, Inspiring Minds offers several programs appropriate for business and community groups. Providence’s business community knows how crucial children’s education is to our city’s future. Inspiring Minds brings volunteers from many different businesses into our city’s schools, where they make a real difference in a child’s education. Inspiring Minds works with local business to find creative ways to bring together members of our business community with students. Please call or email us to discuss ways your business or group can become involved.
