$1 million donation to museum supports Youthworks program

The Windsong Trust’s $1 million donation to the new Discovery Children's Museum will support the museum’s Youthworks Program, which helps teens from low-income families stay in school and graduate. As reported by KVVU-TV, CCSD Superintendent Dwight D. Jones praised the program. He said, "I am pleased that the Lied Discovery Children's Museum puts this funding to excellent use providing our students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience while in high school.” KVVU said Youthworks offers job skills training, mentoring, career guidance and other services to local underserved youth.
