“There are two ways of exerting one’s strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.”- Booker T. Washington
Our goal with the Student Scholars Program is to create a network of young people who are deeply invested in giving back to the community and provide them with the resources, ideas, and training to carry out their visions for the future. Through the generosity of our community, the ONE Project will provide up to 12 high school freshmen with a year-long leadership training that meets once a month and award each student with a $500 scholarship. This scholarship will be awarded at the end of their leadership training upon completion of their Community Service Project. The ONE Project is committed to making a difference by bringing people from different backgrounds together to address social needs through education and volunteerism.
