Since 1994, Partners in Education (PIE) has been dedicated to empowering students with the skills they need to read, succeed, and thrive. Founded by the Toledo Rotary, PIE partners with schools and local organizations to deliver evidence-based programs that support literacy, college and career readiness, and community engagement. Guided by the belief that “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much,” PIE brings together teachers, volunteers, and community partners to ensure students and schools in Toledo receive the support they need.

Since its founding in 1892, Boys & Girls Clubs of Toledo has been a beacon of hope and opportunity for young people. Inspired by John Gunckel’s vision to create a safe, supportive environment for children, the organization remains steadfast in its mission: to enable all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens.
