The York County Community Foundation (YCCF) awarded three grants to two local agencies to help improve the health and well-being of York County residents, including homeless youths. Grant funds were awarded to the York County Planning Commission and to Cornerstone Youth Home.
A grant of $40,000 from the YCCF Agriculture & Land Preservation Program Fund was awarded to the York County Planning Commission for a pilot partnership to advance agricultural outreach and best management practices (BMP) implementation in the Codorus Watershed. An additional $17,500 from the YCCF Codorus Watershed Program Fund was also awarded to the project.
A grant of $15,000 from the Doris E. Schwartz Education Fund of YCCF was given to Cornerstone Youth Home to support Teacher Leadership, comprehensive restorative practice training for teachers providing intensive academic support for homeless students in kindergarten to 12th grade across York County. The grant will go to Cornerstone's "Teaching the WHOLE Student initiative." The grant will be used to train certified teachers, who will learn the social science of restorative practices and integrate services to best serve families in need.
