One year after MVYouth was founded with its innovative fundraising model, $1 million has translated to new headquarters for the Island Wide Youth Collaborative, a new Little League Field and five college scholarships.
The fledgling Island Wide Youth Collaborative celebrated a milestone this week by breaking ground for a new building. The building was made possible thanks to a $620,000 grant from MVYouth, a donor fund established last summer.
A new facility for youth mental health services and a new field for Little Leaguers received funding Tuesday night as the recently established MVYouth community fund presented its first two expansion grants, part of a $1 million yearly campaign to help the Island’s youngest residents.
