Detailed Project Description:
🌟 Invest in Tomorrow's Success Stories Today!
Not every student's journey looks the same. Some work tirelessly—sacrificing weekends and family time—but their grades don't tell the full story of their dedication.
Global Trekkers' Most Improved Senior Scholarship celebrates these unsung heroes at North Stokes and South Stokes High Schools.
What We're Funding:
-
$500 scholarships for students who've shown remarkable growth
-
Support for community college tuition and books
-
Recognition for students often overlooked by traditional awards
Why It Matters: For students attending community college, $500 can cover essential textbooks or a significant portion of tuition—removing barriers to their education and showing them their hard work hasn't gone unnoticed. We'd like to give more, hence why we need your support.
How You Can Help:
-
Donate to fund these life-changing scholarships
-
Share this fundraiser with your network
-
Help us prove that every student's potential deserves support
Because everyone has the right to achieve their full potential. Join Global Trekkers in making a difference. Donate today!
Community Needs Assessment
Since 2015, our Club has maintained a sustained service initiative addressing educational barriers identified through direct consultation with Stokes County educators and community stakeholders. A comprehensive cost analysis reveals that two semesters at a local North Carolina community college—including tuition and required materials—exceeds $3,000, representing a prohibitive financial barrier for many deserving students.
This scholarship specifically recognizes "The Most Improved Graduating Senior" from both North Stokes and South Stokes High Schools, honoring students who have demonstrated the greatest academic growth rather than the highest cumulative GPA. This population of students is consistently underrepresented in traditional senior recognition programs, creating a gap in acknowledgment for meaningful academic achievement.

Sustainability: How the benefits of the project will continue afterward
Building Brighter Futures, One Connection at a Time
When you invest in education, you're not just changing lives today—you're creating a ripple effect that transforms entire communities for generations. Our youth-to-business network doesn't just open doors to jobs; it builds bridges to opportunity, breaks cycles of poverty and exploitation, and empowers young people to become the leaders and changegivers our community needs.
This isn't a one-time intervention. It's a sustainable solution that keeps giving back—because educated, connected, and empowered youth become the mentors, employers, and community champions of tomorrow.
Invest in knowledge. Multiply the impact. Sustain the change.
