The Johnston Ziegler Safrit Youth Leadership Scholarship recognizes local high school seniors who are leaving a mark on their community. Through this scholarship, Teen Health Connection is investing in future leaders, changemakers, and advocates. The scholarship, which was established in 2012, was created for three significant leaders of the organization:
- Dr. John Gardner Johnston, Teen Health Connection’s first Medical Director
- Barbara Ziegler, the organization’s first Executive Director
- Libby Safrit, Executive Director since 2009
This scholarship recognizes a local high-school senior who, like Dr. Johnston, Barbara Ziegler, and Libby Safrit, has demonstrated outstanding leadership, advocacy, and service. The selected youth will receive a $10,000 educational scholarship to the college or university of his or her choice
By recognizing their leadership, advocacy, and service in the community, the Teen Health Connection Legacy Fund supports their ongoing academic success through this scholarship and encourages them to continue their impactful work.
