Washington D.C. Youth Scholar Trip 2023
July 25 - 28th
Return to DC!
Thanks to Herb Kohl Philanthropies, for sponsoring our youth scholar trip to DC. We had the opportunity to take 27 Youth Scholars to Washington DC to explore our Nations Capital. This is the first time we were able to return since 2019. The importance of exposure and teaching our youth about our past and history is crucial as we try to build a future for everyone to live in!
