“We are looking forward to presenting our youth leadership award again this year. Thanks to the generosity of our members and community, we are able to award $2,000 in 2022. The pandemic has put unimaginable stress on students everywhere, yet we continue to be impressed by the leadership and civic action taken by students for their communities,” says LWVLT Co-chair Katharine Schumacher.

“Our goal is to celebrate the youth leaders in our communities who are stepping up to lead their peers under very difficult circumstances. The League is here to support, applaud, and promote our next generation of civic leaders. If there are members of the community who want to support this scholarship fund: ANYONE can make a tax-deductible contribution to the LWVLT Youth Leadership Award fund. All proceeds go directly to the students.” For online giving: https://www.lwvlt.org/donate-1
