Education
The DAR is passionate about educating America’s youth and supports a variety of different programs, contests, and awards to help further this goal.
Our Sarah Ann Cochrane Chapter, NSDAR, proudly contributes each year to the following educational programs:
Hindman Settlement School Dyslexia Program
The Hindman Settlement School in Kentucky is nationally renowned for their dyslexia programs throughout the region. In recent years, the Sarah Ann Cochrane Chapter, NSDAR, has awarded two annual scholarships to the school in support of this program.
American Indian Schools
The Sarah Ann Cochrane Chapter, NSDAR, supports the American Indian Schools through annual donations.
The Sarah Ann Cochrane Chapter, NSDAR, literacy committee collects new and gently used books for preschool- and kindergarten-aged children. The preschool recipients are children who qualify because of low income, environmental risk, primary home language other than English, and other risk factors. The kindergarten recipients attend a school that qualifies for Federal funding because of the percentage of low income.
Members participate in Children of the American Revolution activities. Founded in 1895, it is the oldest patriotic youth organization in the nation. Its mission is to promote the training of young citizens. As an organization dedicated to service, we strive to make a real contribution to our communities, our state, and our country through our activities and projects.
Each year, participating local high schools nominate an outstanding senior in recognition of their good citizenship. Students receive certificates for their essays, and a scholarship is awarded to the overall winner of the contest.
Congratulations to our 2022 Good Citizen Award finalists!
