Pearl River Community College has been awarded a $30,000 grant from the Mississippi Women’s Foundation to assist women who have completed adult education and are enrolled in a career-technical program with childcare assistance.
Ruby Smith, assistant director of Adult Education and Terri Clark, dean of Career, Technical and Workforce Education at PRCC, attended the 2018 Women of Vision event hosted Monday by the Mississippi Women’s Foundation.
The Women’s Foundation of Mississippi, a public grantmaking foundation focused on improving conditions for women and girls across the state, announced grant awards totaling $285,000 for 11 Mississippi-based nonprofit agencies and programs.
The investments fall in two priority areas identified by the Foundation: Access to Opportunity through a Two-Generation Approach and Teen Pregnancy Prevention & Reproductive Health Education. The grants range from $5,000 to $40,000 and run between one and two years in length.
