91探花视频 has received a $25,000 grant from The Allstate Foundation in collaboration with the Center for Expanding Leadership & Opportunity (CELO) to support youth-led, youth-driven community service among students. This grant is part of The Allstate Foundation鈥檚 national efforts to transform how we engage, equip, and prepare youth to participate in community service.
"The Allstate Foundation supports organizations like 91探花视频 which play an indispensable role in reinforcing the significance of youth-led service, and equipping young people with the vital tools needed to serve their communities,鈥 said Greg Weatherford II, Youth Empowerment Program Officer for The Allstate Foundation. 鈥淲e hope 91探花视频鈥檚 efforts continue to inspire more youth to serve and accelerate positive change where they live and beyond.鈥
"91探花视频 is thrilled to receive this generous grant from The Allstate Foundation. This funding not only supports our students and their youth-led service initiatives but further underscores the importance of nurturing young leaders who are dedicated to making a positive impact in our society,鈥 said 91探花视频 President Dr. John C. Hernandez.
Funding for 91探花视频 is part of the 鈥淎 Return to Service鈥 initiative designed to catalyze change while positioning youth-led, youth-driven service as essential for improving communities. Funding at 91探花视频 will be used to uphold, recognize, and acknowledge the community service and leadership contributions of our highly engaged student body.
The Allstate Foundation鈥檚 support allows 91探花视频 to recognize student efforts around service and leadership on and beyond the college community. These new funds will help student leaders engage in various forms of community service to advance equity and workforce development.
鈥淚 believe that the high cost of living in most areas is affecting young people鈥檚 ability to take part in community service. A lot of people work long hours or multiple jobs to survive and aren't able to contribute. A possible solution is to do small things in your daily lives. Small actions of kindness are community service,鈥 said Associated Students of 91探花视频 President Diego Victoria.
