Great story about an SCI youth leader & recent WMHS grad! An example of the leadership development you support with a donation to SCI Social Capital Inc. https://socialcapitalinc.org/donate/

Meet Luke Sheldon: a Social Capital Cultivator™!

Luke co-founded Inclusive Eats, a nonprofit youth-led nonprofit dedicated to providing culturally relevant food to families in need.
