DELAWARE COUNTY
The Delaware County 2012 Bowl for Kids' Sake on June 30, 2012 was a great success! Thank you for helping Delaware kids!
The Delaware County Program offers many volunteer opportunities impacting the lives of hundreds of youth, ages 5 to 14, in the county area each year through its mentoring programs, which include: the traditional Community-based one-to-one program, School-based programs, waiting list programs, and a summer camping program at Camp Oty'Okwa.
Our mentoring programs provide a Big Brother or Big Sister to deserving youth in need of a special friend, producing mutually rewarding experiences for both the Big and the Little. All of the children and youth from the County who are involved in the programs come from single-parent or transitional family homes and are referred by the parent, school, or other community service agencies.
Our School-based programs match volunteers from Ohio Wesleyan University and County High Schools with junior and elementary age youth to help with academic and social skills. Scheduling is flexible.
In 2012, the agency hosted our first community-wide Bowl for Kids' Sake fundraising event. For more information about how you or your company can get involved in this wonderful community event that benefits Delaware County kids, please click here.

In addition, Ohio Wesleyan University hosts the Ohio Wesleyan Bowl for Kids' Sake each spring as a campus community service fund raiser. Students, faculty and administrators solicit funds and bowl on behalf of the Delaware program. Click here to view photos from the Ohio Wesleyan 2012 Bowl for Kids' Sake!
The American Showa Golf Outing benefiting the Delaware County program is held in the summer and provides an opportunity for staff and volunteers to team up with American Showa employees and clients for a full day of golf, food, and fun: Rain or shine.
