Fort Wayne Community Schools press release:<\/p>\n

Study Connection begins 21st year<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Study Connection will kick off its 21st year of helping students with its Annual Celebration and
\nRecognition Breakfast Friday, Sept. 11.<\/p>\n

Yvette McGee Brown, President of The Center for Child and Family Advocacy at Children’s
\nHospital, a collaboration between Children’s Hospital and the Columbus (Ohio) Coalition Against
\nFamily Violence, will lead the celebration breakfast as the keynote speaker. She will join hundreds
\nof supporters, volunteers and prospective volunteers in celebrating more than two decades of Fort
\nWayne Community Schools’ nationally recognized tutoring program.<\/p>\n

Study Connection began in 1989, founded by Don Wolf, retired CEO and president emeritus of Do it
\nBest Corp. In the last two decades an estimated 10,000 students have gone through the program.
\nVolunteers are matched one-to-one with FWCS students who need academic assistance. Students and
\nvolunteers meet weekly after school for one hour during the school year with 79 percent of the
\nstudents bused to and from local businesses for their tutoring sessions. This not only gives
\nstudents a chance to receive some extra homework help, but also meet a mentor in the community and
\nlearn about local career opportunities.<\/p>\n

Study Connection has been replicated in other cities across the nation, including Clinton, Iowa,
\nwhere the Governor recognized it as the 2000 Volunteer Program of the Year. In 2007, Study
\nConnection received the Indiana Youth Institute Award for investing in youth.<\/p>\n

As president of The Center for Child and Family Advocacy, McGee Brown is working to break the
\ncycle of violence that engulfs many young people. She was formerly a judge in the Franklin County
\n(Ohio) Court of Common Please, Division of Domestic Relations and Juvenile Court. She began her
\npublic service career as an Ohio Assistant Attorney General and went on to become the Chief Counsel
\nof the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction and then Chief Counsel of the Ohio
\nDepartment of Youth Services.<\/p>\n

The Study Connection breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. Friday at Ceruti’s, 6601 Innovation Blvd.
\nAttendance at the breakfast is by invitation only.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
