SALVATION ARMY GIVES COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS TO DESERVING CHILDREN

The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club “Youth of the Year” (YOY) Ambassadors recently held their 17th Annual “Youth of the Year” Brighter Future Scholarship Awards Banquet.

34 children completed the YOY Program this year and were awarded Scholarships ranging from $2,000 to $15,000, totaling more than $150,000. These scholarships can be used for college or a trade school after completing high school. Leading this year's event were Co-Chairs, Frances Howard and Mary Sage. This event was established to encourage academic success in young people, ages 12-18 years old and provide them a means to have a scholarship fund upon graduating from high school.

The 2023 Youth of the Year Honoree was, Sidney Faust, a longtime supporter of The Salvation Army. Sidney has supported the “Youth of the Year” Program since its inception 17 years ago. The YOY Ambassadors were very proud to honor such a wonderful friend and community leader.

A big thank you to Judi McGee for her instrumental leadership and guidance in helping the youth achieve academic success. An investment in a student today means a “brighter future” tomorrow. Bringing hope for “Youth of the Year” students and helping them to achieve their goals to have a Brighter Future is what YOY Ambassadors are working to achieve.

The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club YOY Ambassadors raise funds for scholarships for the students, mentor the youth, provide training for public speaking, basic business etiquette skills, extensive essay writing and more.

Students who participate in the annual YOY competition form valuable relationships with mentors, learn key life and business skills, and build scholarship funds for college or a trade school beginning as early as 12 years of age.

A BIG THANK YOU to all those who support The Salvation Army “Youth of the Year” Program.
