 “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest”.
Benjamin Franklin

On Monday, November 4th, 2024, we joined our CEO Jimmy Todd, as he presented a check of $12,000 to support the endowment funds of Nex-Generation Round Up for Youth, Inc (NGRUFY). For over a decade, we have championed the cause of the next generation by supporting and in some cases, underwriting the youth development programs and initiatives of NGRUFY. We continue to do so today, knowing fully well that an investment in youth education, skills acquisition, and training often yields the best dividends for the community in the long haul.

Nex-Generation Round Up for Youth, Inc. currently has an endowment fund managed by the Greater Northwest Kansas Community Foundation (GNWKCF). The endowment will provide funds that will enable NGRUFY to fulfill its mission of educating northwest and north central Kansas students about local career opportunities. Through programs focused on career development, entrepreneurship, and internships, NGRUFY aims to foster a strong sense of community and inspire our youth to stay or return home to build their futures.

Before you go, please check out my recent visit to the Young AmeriTowne of Kansas, managed by Nex-Generation Round Up for Youth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQdh5OdZ4D8.

I hope you enjoy it. 😊
