Summary: This program provides assistance to at-risk youth in 4 North Phoenix high schools.
The Ray Norris At-Risk Youth program has been established by the Anthem Rotary club to provide needed assistance to students who have been identified as at-risk and often times as "homeless" with the intent of keeping these students in school. Club Rotarians work closely with administrators of Mayer HS, Barry Goldwater HS, Deer Valley HS and Boulder Creek HS, to identify specific needs. We regularly provide gift cards for meals, Walmart gift cards, and backpacks stuffed with personal hygiene supplies throughout the academic calendar year. An estimated 350 - 400 students are impacted through this program. Rotarians are involved with the purchasing of the gift and meal cards, and the backpacks and hygiene supplies. Club members stuff the backpacks and deliver all the materials to the high schools for distribution.

This project is "Paid". This means that the funds from the district have been issued. This project is now being ready for implementation. When this is done, a report needs to be uploaded on the project page and the "Reported" button needs to be clicked, then the status of the project will be changed to "Reported".
Congratulations! This project has been approved for full funding. We need to do some administrative things, so we don’t know exactly when the money will hit your account, but our best guess is a month or so. We’ll send you an update when we have one. Please also remember that you may not spend money prior to TRF approval and reimburse yourself from grant funds. If there have been changes in your bank account (information for electronic transfer), please get that to Lucinda General (District Treasurer) as soon as possible. treasurer@rotary5495.org. Your report is due April 30, 2024, and receipts are required to complete the report (not invoices, cancelled checks, UPS shipping labels, or any other documents). Thank you for making the world a better place.
