Organiser's description

The Williams-Locke Scholarship Fund supports Middle School and High School age youth with scholarship awards for youth enrichment programs. Research shows that youth enrichment programs improve studentseducational outcomes,school attendance, andsocial and emotional learning. Quality values based enrichment programs lower dropout ratesand has helpedclose achievement gapsfor students. Forolder youth, regular participation may alsoreduce risky behaviorsand help students gain collegeaccess anddevelop marketable skills.

The average cost of after school enrichment programs has skyrocketed. This leaves parents of many youth without viable options to provide the much needed support for building skills and character. The hardest hit are those families with multiple school aged children.

THE WILLIAMS-LOCKE ENRICHMENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM INVITES YOUR PARTICIPATION IN A VIRTUAL WALK/RUN TO RAISE FUNDS FOR YOUTH ENRICHMENT AWARDS. THIS YEAR'S TARGET GOAL IS $2,500.
