SCHOLARSHIPS & LEADERSHIP
DEVELOPMENT
Rising leaders, global impact
We support nonprofits that empower youth locally and globally, shaping the next generation of leaders.
In May 2024, we partnered with Asian Refugees United (ARU), the Dauphin County Drug and Alcohol Department, and the Nepalese Association Club to host Youth Wellness Day, reaching over 100 youth with vital health and wellness resources. Our seed funding also helped ARU launch the Soccer for Success program in 2023, which has since trained over 200 students in soccer, nutrition, and leadership across four seasons.
Additionally, we fund scholarships at Arniko School in Nepal to support young girls' education.
