Welcome to the Guiding Path Enrichment Center (GPEC), a beacon of hope and opportunity for the youth in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). Since our founding in 2016, we have dedicated ourselves to enriching the lives of children and adolescents through comprehensive educational support and enrichment programs. Today, we invite you to join us in making a profound impact on the future of our community.

Our Mission:

At GPEC, we believe that every child has the potential to succeed when given the right tools and support. Our mission is to guide students towards their path of purpose, transforming their potential into passion through education. We serve children aged 6 to 17, offering programs that address academic needs, career development, and social-emotional growth.

Why We Need Your Support:

The need for educational support in the CSRA is critical. Many students in our community face significant challenges, including limited access to affordable tutoring and enrichment opportunities. Over 75% of the students in local school systems come from low-income families, and these students often struggle to meet academic benchmarks, which can jeopardize their future prospects.

By supporting GPEC, you are helping us provide essential services that include:

Level Up Summer Learning Program: Prevents summer learning loss and prepares students for the upcoming school year through engaging curriculum-aligned activities.
Youth Entrepreneur Camp: Introduces students to business and entrepreneurship fundamentals, fostering innovation and leadership skills.
Culinary Academy: Provides hands-on cooking experiences, teaching students about nutrition, culinary techniques, and teamwork.
K-12 Tutoring Enrichment Program: Offers individualized tutoring sessions to enhance students’ skills in reading, writing, math, and study habits.
Weekend Enrichment Workshops: Covers a broad range of topics from reading intervention and STEM to social-emotional learning and college preparation.

Our Goals:

Increase Academic Achievement: Provide academic tutoring services to 100 K-12 students, improving their grades and test scores.
Enhance Social and Emotional Development: Boost social-emotional skills by 25%, helping students manage emotions, build relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Improve Graduation and GED Passing Rates: Assist youth and adults in achieving high school graduation and GED success, increasing their job and higher education opportunities.

We have established several donation tiers to recognize and reward our generous supporters:
