Learn to Earn Dayton is proud to announce our partnership with the Omega Community Development Center (Omega CDC) to fund the implementation of the Literacy Tree program at Fairview Elementary. This initiative represents a significant step forward in our commitment to High Impact Tutoring (HIT) as a proven strategy for closing achievement gaps in our community.

We are thrilled to welcome back Kelly Geers to the Learn to Earn Dayton team as our new Managing Director! Kelly brings a wealth of experience to this work and will lead the internal management and operational excellence of the organization in support of our mission, working in deep partnership with the CEO.

“This is progress you can see,” said Vanessa Ward, president of Omega CDC. “Through workgroups and surveys, families consistently asked for opportunities to put down roots, and now homes are coming to Northwest Dayton neighborhoods with the support of partners who see the value of investment. This is the future our residents called for. The demand is being answered with action.”
