Meet Molly, a senior at Rosary High School. This is her first year in YEP. “I wanted to be a part of YEP because I saw it as an exciting leadership opportunity that would foster my love for service and giving back to my community. Making a difference in my community is important to me because I feel that even the smallest of positive efforts can go a long way in creating a thriving community. I believe a positive change is possible and it brings me joy to know that I am a part of creating this change. I love helping the youth of my community and volunteering with children fills me with unique satisfaction and joy. The knowledge that I can help make a difference in their lives empowers me and equips me with confidence as I seek to make a difference in my future.”
Due to the holidays, our offices will be closed on the following days: December 24 – 25 and January 1.
…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.

Dick Schindel
Richard and Susan Schindel Scholarship Funds
As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!
