The Washington Youth Academy Foundation provides needed support for academic programs and cadet financial assistance including scholarships and job assistance.  To accomplish our goals, having a regular donation as little as $10 per month (the cost of just two lattes) makes a big difference in the lives of the young men and women making big changes in their lives.  Please consider a monthly donation.  Just follow the link in the button below.  Thank you for helping.

Ashley Santiago was awarded a scholarship of $750 toward her education at Whatcom Community College in the nursing program.  In addition, Ashley was awarded a laptop necessary for her nursing program.  We are proud of Ashley and her pursuit of her dreams.

Karen Chak, cadet graduate from class 2013-1 was the first recipient of the Cadet Parker Lang Memorial Scholarship receiving $1,000 toward her degree as a dental hygienist.  The Parker Lang scholarship was dedicated by his Mother in honor of her son who tragically lost his life.  Parker was a graduate of class 2013-2.  Karen said, "it was an honor to receive this scholarship.  It will help me achieve my dreams."

The Kitsap Great Give was a very successful fundraiser for the Washington Youth Academy Foundation.  We received over $5,000 in donations.  After the bonus pool match we should receive nearly $6,000 for academic support and cadet financial assistance.  Thank you to all 39 of our donors.  We appreciate each and every one of you.
