Pay It Forward
This year Youth Alliance members are reaching out to their community by Paying It Forward. Alliance members are up to the challenge of taking a portion, or the entirety, of their $25.00 monthly stipends and think of a creative and inspiring way to give back to their community and make the world a better place.
