PNC Foundation gives $5K grant to Youngstown YWCA

YOUNGSTOWN — The YWCA of Youngstown, 25 W. Rayen Ave., received a $5,311 grant from the PNC Foundation for the Y’s Early Education programs.

The grant will assist in paying for staff salaries, field trips to OH WOW! The Roger & Gloria Jones Children’s Center for Science & Technology, and upgrading technology for preschool classrooms.

PNC provided the funding in support of Grow Up Great, its bilingual program in early-childhood education.
