500 take part in ‘Inspiring’ summer

WARREN

More than 500 students in the Mahoning Valley are taking part in IM Summer.

Inspiring Minds is hosting a summer tour with partners, donors, government officials and others today. Because the Inspiring Minds Summer Enrichment Program operates at six sites in the city, the tour will travel to just a few of the sites in order to give a holistic feel for the different components of the program.

Participants are welcome to attend all aspects of the tour, which will begin at 10:30 a.m. at Entrance A of Warren G. Harding High School, 860 Elm Road NE.

Inspiring Minds seeks to engage, inspire and empower youths to reach their full potential through education and exposure to life-changing experiences.
