Please join us in congratulating Yabsira Tekle, 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.

Yabsira is currently pursuing a major in Human Physiology and a minor in Chemistry at the University of Iowa. Her goal is to become a humanitarian doctor and invest her knowledge and skills by working for underserved communities in America and countries across the globe. Yabsira also performed a beautiful spoken word piece at last year’s Virtual YLS. 

Congrats Yabsira! You are so deserving of this and we cannot wait to watch you continue to shine!
