What Matters Warren
Town Tip Thursday – Blue Ridge Educational Center (BREC)
Blue Ridge Educational Center (BREC) is a local non-profit organization focused on the educational needs of Warren and surrounding counties. Established in 2000 as a tutoring center, it has grown to become a licensed day school for students with disabilities. At BREC, a structured, yet creative and flexible learning environment is provided. Students can build the skills needed to pursue their educational goals and succeed, according to Executive Director April Strosnider.
Beth Waller talks to April Strosnider for our Town Tip Thursday:
BREC’s greatest need is community support. It’s work enables others to live and participate meaningfully in the community where they reside and enriches the resources our community has to offer, which is the essence of a non-profit organization.
