Youth Program Garners Major Support from Foundation
Lancaster Seminary’s Leadership Now: Spiritual Formation with Youth program has received an additional multi-year grant of $939,000 from Lilly Endowment, Inc.
Impressed with the work the program has accomplished over the past eight years, Lilly not only funded the full request but chose to increase the amount awarded by $175,000. The Endowment’s program officer has noted that Lancaster’s Leadership Now program is among the top programs of its kind in the United States.
The mission of Leadership Now is to empower youth to live out their commitments as people of faith with a particular emphasis on equipping them for leadership roles in church and society. Its impact can be seen in the lives of youth participants and the congregations in which youth share their creative gifts.
This generous grant from Lilly will be used to expand a robust set of programs that includes an annual summer leadership academy and cross-cultural trip to another nation. The seminary continues to raise funds for the benefit of this acclaimed initiative.
