Youth Scholarship Fund

Do you care about the youth in our community? Would you like to see them involved in constructive programming? Then you can volunteer to  raise money for our Youth Scholarship Fund by helping to plan or work fundraising events. All proceeds from these events go directly to our Youth Scholarship Fund to provide financial support to the youth of Elgin who wish to participate in recreation programs.
