THINK Together receives Community Pillar Award

On Friday, October 1, 2011, Assemblyman Jose Solorio and staff visited THINK Together headquarters in Santa Ana to award Randy Barth, founder/CEO, with a 2011 Community Pillar Award.  The Community Pillar Award is given to non-profit organizations which work to improve the lives of residents living in central Orange County.  Barth and THINK Together earned the honor due to the organization's excellence in enhancing learning opportunities for school-aged children and teens.  Barth accepted the award on behalf of the organization, and dedicated the award to THINK Together's staff statewide.  Assemblyman Solorio, who lives in Santa Ana and served on the Santa Ana City Council for six years, spoke about THINK Together's important role in the community and in after-school education, noting that his two children attend THINK Together programs and that his wife is the principal at Valley High in the Santa Ana Unified School District,  which is another model THINK Together program site

The Community Pillar Award was launched last year. THINK Together is the 8th recipient of this honor for 2011.

THINK Together is serious about helping kids achieve!

THINK Together is making a difference in the lives of more than 100,000 California students. The non-profit organization's trained staff, dedicated volunteers and generous donors are providing extended learning time programs (after-school, summer learning, small group tutoring, early literacy, etc.) and resources to help these kids, their families and their communities achieve. Our programs, generally free for at-risk students and low-income families, are predominately available at public school sites across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and now Sacramento Counties.
