Ron Turner talks to Dr. Marco Tinor, Executive Vice President of By the Hand Club for Kids about the impact of after-school programs. Tinor explains how their faith-centered program, active for over two decades, supports 2,000 under-resourced children, offering academic, emotional, and spiritual guidance. Students gain critical skills, experience improved graduation rates, and benefit from mentorship. Programs like Austin Harvest even address community needs by providing fresh produce. Dr. Tinor emphasizes the importance of volunteer support and the transformative power of faith in students' lives. (https://bythehand.org)
