The Daily Times - www.delmarvanow.com - Salisbury, Md.: "Community Youth Foundation both helps and teaches
By Erin Michaud

For the past six years, high school students from Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset counties have been making an impact on youth in our community by meeting once a month at the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore as part of a group called the Youth Foundation.

Sheila Chandrasekhara, a member of the class of 2000, designed the program during her senior year of high school in an effort to expose her fellow teenagers to philanthropy while at the same time bettering the community. The Youth Foundation is the advisory committee for the Youth Foundation Fund. The committee raises money to build the endowment and awards grants to support local programs that benefit youth."
