The Daemen College-Seneca Babcock Partnership

Since 1998, Daemen faculty and students have been working with residents of the Seneca Babcock community through the Daemen College-Seneca Babcock Partnership. Daemen students provide services to youth K-12 at three sites: The Boys and Girls Club, The Seneca Babcock Community Center, and The Seneca Street Church.

During the academic year, Daemen students work in each of the three agencies in Seneca Babcock, serving about 90 children per day. The Summer Reading Camp was held in August, 2005 in collaboration with The Thomas Reynolds Center for Special Education and After-School Programs. The camp was attended by 85 children, with a carnival and graduation held on the final day.

In May of 2005, The Daemen College-Seneca Babcock Partnership was awarded the Civic Empowerment Award. Presented by the Buffalo Niagara All-America City Committee, the Civic Empowerment Awards Program recognizes successful collaborations between citizens, government, businesses and non-profits in finding solutions to civic challenges in our communities.

The impact of the club has been remarkable: the children have grown not only in ability, but in confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth. Other Daemen students featured in the picture are Katherine Beyer, Social Work '07 (second row, second to the right) and Kerry McMahon, Political Science '07 (top row, right).
