What Community Service Scholars are saying

"It’s important for me to give back to my community because they have given so much to me. I grew up attending afterschool programs and summer camps, and they honestly took part in raising me. I feel like it did take a village, and it’s only right that I give back. It is a full-circle moment."

Gianna G.

"I’ve been a Girl Scout for many years and helped at homeless shelters and the Boys & Girls Clubs. Community Service has helped to humble me and shape me into who I am today. The scholarship from Desert Financial will help take some of the weight off my parents’ shoulders."

Amaya J.
