One of the recipients of our Youth Leadership Summit scholarship raffle. Our annual YLS event is free and open to middle school, high school, and college-aged youth. For the 2nd consecutive year, we raffled scholarships at this event. All high school senior or current college student attendees that were pre-registered and present were entered into this drawing for various $500 scholarships and one $1,000 scholarship.

Virginia is currently studying Police Science at Hawkeye Community College. Virginia is planning on using this scholarship to pay off a portion of her bills at college. In her own words, she hopes “that one day I can also support other new generations in my future as you taught me”.

Congrats Virginia! We look forward to watching your journey going forward!
