From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Energy Express is a six-week summer program, sponsored by AmeriCorps, which promotes the school success of children living in rural and low-income communities across West Virginia. Energy Express provides summer learning experiences focused on reading, serves two nutritious, family-style meals each day, engages college students in service through AmeriCorps, and develops strong partnerships involving parents, schools, communities, and state agencies and organizations. The program was started by West Virginia University professor, Ruth Ellen Phillips.
