The Rotary Club of Eastern York County has a $5000.00 District Grant for the  EYWI Eastern York Workcamp Initiative (Wrightsville) to purchase materials for the work camp project. The youth, about 221 of them, come from many states to work in the Eastern York School District and all over York and western parts of Lancaster County. The youth and adult leaders stay at the Eastern York Middle School and are provided meals and have activities in the evenings.

 

The program started in 2019 and was to happen in 2020, but was canceled due to COVID-19. The program started again in 2022 and went back to most of the same clients and have 30 houses to work on. These youth in the picture are from Virginia and the site is on Maple Street in Wrightsville.

 

The Grant process started back in early 2022 and this is the second year for the EYWI Work Camp In the Eastern York School District.
