Youth Empowerment Program

Young people often have the best ideas...
Our Youth Grant Program helps our young neighbors bring to life their visions for commUnity improvement.



Our 2014 recipient, Sonja Lintott, collected supplies for local animal shelters and for Transitions of Pa.

In 2015, Rebekah Smith, earned her Girl Scout Gold Award with her "My Little Libraries Project."

Learn more about Sonja here, and Rebekah here.
