Take a look at these local programs giving back here and beyond.
Inspiration Schoolhouse Awarded $500
When Erica Marsh isn't teaching at William's Elementary she is giving back to children in Liberia. Inspiration Schoolhouse is her vision for a school and library to educate Liberian children. Her "Go Fund Me" project is collecting funds to renovate a building which will house books she has collected to ship to Liberia. Erica is donating a year of her time, skill and effort to help hire teachers and get the school up and running. What an inspiration!
Institute for Workforce Innovation (Youth Build) Awarded $500
The mission of Institute for Workforce Innovation - Project Youth Build is to improve the quality of life in the community through education, employment and advocacy.

PYB helps students attain a diploma, learn a trade, go to school, get a job, give back to the community and be successful in life.
