Pleasant Valley Connection serves as a community center and provides programs for all ages. PVC also connects residents in the community to needed services in the greater Greenville community.

Pleasant Valley Connection has several programs offered to youth, their families and seniors within the Pleasant Valley community. Since our inception in 2004, Pleasant Valley Connection has proven its success.

Pleasant Valley After School & Extended Learning Elementary Tutoring:

Offers one-on-one time with elementary students helping with homework as part of an after-school program offered Monday – Thursday from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m., conducted by staff/teacher(s) and community volunteers.

GED:

Greenville Literacy and Pleasant Valley Connection offer GED courses. Greenville Literacy provides the training to prepare students for the GED tests.

Summer Day Camp for Youth:

(7:45 am - 5:30 pm with late stay available until 6:00 pm)

Pleasant Valley Connection conducts a regularly scheduled summer day camp full of activities for youth ages 5 - 10. The camp is comprised of eight fun-filled weeks extending from June 8 to August 7.

A typical week includes: reading and math readiness sessions, character development, physical fitness, positive peer interaction, arts and crafts, outside play, bowling, ice skating, roller skating, swimming and enrichment field trips such as Discovery Place, Atlanta Zoo, Roper Mountain Science Center, South Carolina State Museum, and Edventure Center.

Outside of their normal routines, many of these children do not have an opportunity to participate in activities like these, and in many cases, may never have the opportunity.

Senior Program:

(Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm)

The Pleasant Valley Connection’s Senior Citizen Program is at no-charge to seniors.

The overall program objectives and goals are to provide activities that promote healthy living.  Some include:

• Assist seniors in achieving and maintaining their maximum level of functioning
• Increase healthy diet and lifestyles
• Increase physical activities through exercise
• Increase socialization through the participation in community activities and events
• Offer stimulation through recreational opportunities, craft projects, computer training, bridge, board games, other fun activities and occasional outings
• Reduce loneliness and offer opportunities for friendship
• Provide respite and support for families caring for elderly members
• Provide information and referral to other community services and programs

The program is supervised by a Program Coordinator with the assistance of volunteers. Current attendance averages 55 seniors per day. This number increases during warmer weather. Lunch is provided each day. Approximately 165 meals are served per week, totaling 8,580 annually. In some circumstances, this might be the only nutritious meal he/she might get that day. The above objectives will be measured through the compilation of participant surveys, record reviews, food quizzes, weigh-ins, and blood pressure screenings.
