The Poe Mill Achievement Center

We are huge fans of the Poe Mill Achievement Center. PMAC was launched in June 2018 with 35 children attending summer camp and they have only grown from there. 

They run an after-school program every weekday in concurrence with the Greenville County Schools schedule. Children come straight from school to PMAC, where they engage in academics, physical fitness, games, art, dance, music, and character building activities throughout the afternoon. They also provide a snack each day and supper at the end of the day. In the summers they run “Camp PMAC” which is an all-day program since the kids don’t have school. 

We are happy that a handful of our Griggs Kids are also part of this program and we have been able to send some volunteers to PMAC from time to time. We usually get to do a project for them in the summers when we run our local mission trips. You can find them at  1215 Buncombe Road in the Poe Mill Neighborhood.

If you’re interested in getting involved you check out their amazon wish list here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/218HZPIHUSIFR?ref_=wl_share 

If you’d like to volunteer, you can contact Hannah Dixon at hannah@pmacgvl.org for information. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age and able to commit to volunteering weekly. PMAC is also looking for qualified high school and college students as summer camp and after-school interns! We’d love some of our Griggs college students to apply!
