2015 - Boys & Girls Club of Columbus - ACT Prep Classes
In partnership with the the Boys & Girls Clubs of Columbus, the Columbus chapter of Jack and Jill provided ACT preparation classes for Boys & Girls Club teenagers. In January 2015, dozens of Club teens braved cold and snowy temperatures to meet each Saturday for math and reading drills conducted by Dr. Ihab Ismail, an experienced ACT tutor. The teens took the ACT in February. We are so proud of participating teens for their hard work and dedication!
