Wayne Community Coalition Programs

Wayne Community Coalition Inc. is proud to donate a load o kid journals and sticker books to the counseling department at Martha Rawls Smith Elementary School!

These tools are powerful resources that help children express their feelings, build emotional awareness, and develop coping skills in a fun and age-appropriate way. Counselors can use them to spark meaningful conversations, promote creativity, and support students in navigating their emotions and experiences. 💛📘✨

Wayne Community Coalition Inc. donated journals to1st grade students and toy food sets with baskets to the Pre-K classrooms!

🖊️ The journals will give 1st graders a creative and personal space to express their thoughts, emotions, and ideas.

🧺 The toy food and baskets help Pre-K students engage in imaginative play and build social skills.

We’re honored to support both students and staff in creating enriching, supportive classroom environments where learning and growth can thrive. 💛

Through our newest initiative "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" we were able to provide Athanasius Episcopal Church in Brunswick, GA with toys, journals and, pull ups for the young ones. Thanks to our partnership with Fostering Bulloch! 

 With the help of our partnership with Fostering Bulloch, Beverly Hill, Long County Pre-K Director allowed us to provide fruit baskets, journals and other goodies to the small children in the Pre-K program.

Our focus is to expose students to letter sounds, sight words and CVC words. We also familiarize them with the local public library to promote summer reading and year-round learning. Email us to partner or volunteer for Camp Y.E.Z 2025.

This year we allowed Junior instructors to read books and assist campers with their daily activities.  Peer learning helps in better retention of information. Studies show that students who teach others retain about 90% of what they learn, compared to 50% for those who learn through lectures
