YCDT Students Present to Rotary

YCDT-April-10The YCDT students have worked hard to learn about Harrisburg this year; it’s strengths and weaknesses and the gaps in community services. Early in the program year, they identified four major areas that were of concern to them: hunger & homelessness; unemployment; violence; and access to healthcare. Upon further study, discussion and interaction with local experts in the areas of concern, the students determined that they could make an impact by addressing unemployment and sought to raise funds for non-profit organizations and community groups that provide employability services.

Marion Alexander coached the students to make a fundraising presentation to the community back in January. They raised over $2,000 through the presentation and Marion asked if they could bring the same presentation to the full Rotary club. That they did! On April 19, four students, Dillion Payne and Solomon Lee from Sci Tech High and Michael Solomon and Patrick Kennedy from Bishop McDevitt addressed the Harrisburg Rotary Club to share their story. They announced the selection of Channels Food Rescue and its Kitchen School to receive the students’ $6,000 grant award and invited Rotarians to help meet the monetary goal. Rotarian support for the students’ efforts has been nothing short of robust! Rotarians were inspired by the insights of the students while the students continue to be thankful for the learning opportunities provided through the program. Their confidence, communication, collaboration, and networking skills have all improved as a result of the YCDT program!
