Youth Scholarships
For some families in our community, money may be a significant barrier to enrolling their kids in park programs like swim lessons, youth sports, summer camps, or youth theatre. The Urbana Park District is committed to making sure their programs and camps are available to all children.
Their youth scholarship program helps offset registration costs so that everyone can participate, regardless of ability to pay.
Your donation can help local children connect with nature, explore their artistic and/or athletic talent, make friends, and connect with the community through UPD programs.
