LIMA — The United Way of Greater Lima awarded its 2017 Innovation Grants to six local non-profit agencies on Thursday. The recipients included: • Salvation Army, for “Girl Talk,” a program that seeks to change the perspective from which young girls see themselves through many important avenues. • Bradfield Center, for the “Bradfield Coding Club,” a program designed to introduce coding to Lima-area students in sixth through 12th grades who are underrepresented in computer science and technological fields and have little access to computer science in school. • West Ohio Community Action Partners, for “Teens Who Lead,” a program that aims to help teens find the strength, develop their own goals and support themselves in their achievement of these goals. • Goodwill Easter Seals of Miami Valley, for its Community Outreach program, which assists people in finding jobs and becoming job ready. • Cornerstone of Hope, for “Building Up Kids: Resilient Teens.” Children and teens will be equipped with self-regulation techniques, practical coping strategies and a healthy outlook on life to aid their education, mental health, families, job performance and futures. • Family Promise, for “Transitional Living,” a program that will create the opportunity for individuals to stay in a house that will provide them with the ability to build skills that are required for independent living. .neFileBlock { margin-bottom: 20px; } .neFileBlock p { margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } .neFileBlock .neFile { border-bottom: 1px dotted #aaa; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 10px; } .neFileBlock .neCaption { font-size: 85%; } http://limaohio.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/web1_UnitedWay.jpg The post Six agencies get United Way innovation grants appeared first on The Lima News.
