The ARK Educational Resource Center, located in the poorest town in the state of Delaware, serves students from K-12 by providing free, one-on-one tutoring services in math and reading. We also provide teen groups for boys and girls; as well as a parent group. We believe in strengthening the entire family, while preparing our youth to graduate high school prepared for the challenges of life.

The Impact of Your Support
Your generous support in past DoMore24 events has helped us advance our mission of making sure every student gets the academic support they need to perform at grade level in reading and math and help them develop the skills necessary to be independent learners and high-achieving students. At The ARK we believe that every student who fails or drops out of school is one too many.
