We’ve sponsored their Without Limits program which is dedicated to providing after-school tutoring for underprivileged children. We’ve also sponsored The Creators Project which aimed to transform the First Unitarian Church basement, where tutoring is held, into a space conducive for children to learn, grow, and harness creativity and imagination.
