Skill Building Scholarships

Swimming Trainer with Students

Clarkston Area Youth Assistance offers scholarships to youth for activities that would enable them to develop a special talent or interest in which, due to a lack of funds, they would otherwise be unable to participate.  These skill building scholarships are to expand the child's horizon, increase the child's skills, build self-confidence, and enhance self esteem.
