Sheri Denny, ACF Regional Director for Sedona, and Brenda Moon, Regional Philanthropic Coordinator, kicked off the New Year by highlighting unique vocational scholarships available to Verde Valley residents of all ages. Initiated by the Arizona Community Foundation and the Pat Marr Vocational Scholarship Fund, and further expanded by the Pathways to Careers Endowment Fund, these scholarships provide grants of up to $5,000 for individuals—both students and adults—pursuing vocational careers.
In partnership with the Clarkdale campus of Yavapai College, a twice-yearly "Exploratory Day" introduces area middle school students to various vocational courses and scholarship opportunities. Club members are invited to attend the next "Exploratory Day" on February 6, from 9:00 AM to Noon. Transportation will depart following our February 6 Club meeting for those interested in participating in this valuable activity.
