  2. Lancaster County Partners for Youth began as the Lancaster Medical Endowment The Endowment was founded in January 1976 to receive, invest and administer funds for the purpose of contributing the earnings of such funds to Elliott White Springs Hospital to be used for capital improvements within the medical complex. Original Board of Directors included Don Scott as President; Frank Keene as Vice President; Dace Jones as Secretary; Dr. Richard Gannaway as Treasurer; Bubber Gregory; Dr. Stompy Horton; Leo Maguire; Charles Martin; and, Nancy Robinson. Several years later, George Waldrop began his term as a board member and executive director who served for many years. www.lcpartnersforyouth.org

  5. Short Historical Summary In 1996, with transition of the hospital from nonprofit to for profit, the Lancaster Medical Endowment became the Lancaster Youth Endowment, refocusing its efforts on the youth of our county. In April 2005, the Lancaster Youth Endowment was renamed Lancaster County Partners for Youth Foundation after joining forces with the Lancaster County School District foundation. As a result of strategic planning a full-time executive director was hired in March 2007. The mission of the newly formed Partners for Youth is to provide exceptional opportunities that elevate and enrich the children and youth of Lancaster County. www.lcpartnersforyouth.org

GEAR Up Scholarships for the Class of 2011 and Class of 2014 Lancaster County Partners for Youth committed $1,200,000 in scholarships for Lancaster High School and Andrew Jackson High School Classes of 2011 and 2014. GEAR Up (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is a federally funded program designed to better prepare middle and high school students for college through academic preparation programs and scholarships for students, professional development activities for educators, and college access information for students and parents. A student can earn up to $1,000 in scholarships per semester – meaning a student in the 2014 cohort could theoretically earn $12,000 in scholarships by participating in this program.

  11. Lancaster County Outreach Project The Lancaster County Outreach Project has been formed to help provide essential resources for children in foster care and the abused and neglected children of Lancaster County. Currently, there are around 500 children in our county that DSS has in foster care, alternative care, or treatment/protective care. These kids often have no more than the clothes on their backs. This program provides resources and opportunities for a segment that is underserved. This initiative, originally funded by the Office of Victims of Crime, is an replication grant of the HALOS project in Charleston. The project just began in April 2009 and by the end of 2011 7000 requests impacting 900 children had been fulfilled. Donna Bender is the project coordinator for this program.
