Our goal

is to create excitement about learning so it becomes a lifelong pursuit by the members of our community. While our initial work has been with the public schools, the Educational Foundation of Lower Florence County intends to help all students, public or private, child or adult, achieve the level of education he or she aspires to reach. We are a volunteer organization which offers community service opportunities to all who wish to participate in this exciting, educational opportunity.
