Our young people and their proud families came together last Wednesday evening for our 51st annual Testimonial Dinner at the Carver Community Center. Each year, we recognize our YDP students, and we award financial scholarships to graduating seniors on their way to college and to current college students. This year we awarded 45 graduating seniors and continuing college students with scholarships cumulatively amounting to $140,000. This opportunity for our students is made possible through the support of our incredible donors and program sponsorship from The Connecticut State Department of Education and 21st Century Community Learning Centers.
Rhea Gorham, P-TECH Program Coordinator, and Brian Allert, Chief Program Officer
