The support of the Crosser Family Foundation will assist in providing a suite of youth-led programs for kindergartners through teenagers that focus on building character, teaching leadership skills and developing community stewards. The programming will help young people develop foundational skills that emphasize servant leadership and selflessness that are necessary for inclusive innovation and change in our community. Youth development programs in the suite will provide members with the opportunity to explore career paths that will lead to their success in the workforce.
