- More than 300 scholarships are awarded to low income families allowing their children to attend a week of fun, challenge, self-discovery, and friendship at summer camp.
What Your Help Means

Youth chance high's program was perfect for someone like me. It allowed me to do what I need to do...This school gave me more than an education, it gave me hope. I will be starting my second year of Americorps next year and enrolling to College. I am ready."
