NYA week highlights have included a hike to Mirror Lake with a refreshing dip in the water before trekking back to camp. Weather has been ideal, and scenery beautiful, as always. The annual trip is made possible by a generous grant from the Zurlo Charitable Foundation. !

Highlights of NYA’s 43rd Annual Scholarship Celebration included awarding more than $55,000 to deserving students enrolled in college, welcoming the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles’ Bishop-elect Antonio J. Gallardo Lucena as incoming chair of NYA’s board of trustees, and honoring Bishop John Harvey Taylor before his retirement after a decade in office. In tribute to Bishop Taylor, the Immaculate Heart Community made a significant gift, presented by Dr. Sherry Purcell, president, to a new ongoing scholarship fund established in his name. Bishop Taylor then presented the first award to Khayla Hernandez, who is majoring in civil engineering at Cal-State Long Beach. Then followed the conferring of some 20 additional scholarships and special awards by Sonia R. Hernandez, NYA’s program director. Host for the evening was St Bede's Episcopal Church, Mar Vista, with catering and hospitality arranged by vestry officer Alice Short. The Rev. Jennifer Wagner Pavia, rector, extended a warm welcome to the church, which donates space for the use of NYA’s flagship afterschool learning center. While NYA is a fully non-sectarian program, it was founded in 1906 through the Episcopal Diocese and today continues its mission of 100% college placement for applicants overcoming socioeconomic challenges, most of whom are the first in their families to pursue higher education.
