Youth Scholarships
“WIA scholarships allow us to be able to afford activities for my child, that we otherwise would not be able to. Activities that deepen existing friendships and create stronger bonds within the community. ”
WIA offers scholarships for extracurricular and recreation programs to provide financial support for youth and families so all may have the chance to thrive.
