Dow Promise

St. Charles Community Outreach Foundation – Mt. Airy Baptist Tutoring Program
Computers have changed the way we work and communicate, and knowing how to use them is essential. Through the Mt. Airy Baptist Tutoring Program, an after school tutorial program, Dow Promise volunteers are helping students to develop their computer skills through hands-on experience. Volunteers also work with students to provide help with homework and other school activities.
St. Charles Parish Schools – Luling Elementary School
Some students need a little extra help to succeed. Members of Dow Promise volunteer their time both during the school day and after school to work with elementary students that have academic performance problems.
St. Charles Parish Schools – Hands on Science
What is an emulsion? Does salt water freeze? Sometimes the best understanding of answers to questions like these comes from finding the answers yourself. Dow Promise provides financial support to integrate inquiry-based science learning into science classrooms, giving students the opportunity to conduct experiments to discover the possibilities of science. Dow Promise volunteers are also involved by helping school districts develop strategies to introduce hands-on science learning and assist with teacher training. Volunteers are encouraged to work with classrooms who are implementing this unique learning opportunity.
