Empowered Tutoring

This is what it looks like to .

Right here in the communities of Seymour, Wrightstown, Greenleaf, Kaukauna, and Kimberly, 774 children receive a free book every month through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

Behind every book is a community of people who believe in the power of giving. Our donors, volunteers, local partners, and supporters help make this program possible.

Today, September 25, is Give Like Dolly Day, and you can help us reach even more children and families across the Fox Valley as we continue to grow and expand the program.

Every gift helps put books into the hands of children and builds a community where a love of reading can thrive.

Help us make an even bigger impact for children throughout the Fox Valley:

Nicki began her career with AmeriCorps and San Diego County YMCA Social Services after graduating from college, where she worked with youth in a variety of roles, including a mentoring program and before- and after-school programs. She later taught English as a Foreign Language to both children and adults in Turkey and Poland.

What Nicki loves most about working with kids is being there for those moments when things finally click. Whether they’re tackling a challenge at school, struggling with homework, or navigating something personal, seeing the confidence come back and watching them feel proud of themselves is one of the most rewarding parts of what she does.

Empowered Tutoring is thankful to have Nicki as one of our tutors!

In 1995, Dolly Parton started mailing books to children in her home county to inspire children to love reading in honor of her dad, who couldn’t read or write.

That idea lives here too. Every month, 641 children in Kaukauna, Seymour, Kimberly, Greenleaf, and Wrightstown find a book in the mailbox — because of neighbors who fund it, volunteers who run it, and a woman from Sevier County, TN who started it all.

Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.

We're excited to be a part of Jefferson Elementary, Appleton Back to School Bash!

📚 TUTOR HIGHLIGHT: Hope Lundt 📚

We're excited to highlight Hope Lundt, one of our dedicated tutors. Hope's passion for education and commitment to helping students succeed make her a valued member of our team. Hope is an Elementary Education major at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay. She chose to pursue education because of her experiences as a student. She faced challenges throughout her education, but was fortunate to have teachers who believed in her, supported her, and made a lasting difference in her life. Their kindness and encouragement inspired Hope to become the kind of teacher who helps every student feel seen, valued, and capable of succeeding.
